At the heart of Jenny Jones Rugs is the belief that handknotted rugs are an art form that tell a story and bring a room to life. A beautifully balanced room tied together by the perfect rug can evoke an emotional response like no other. Her design philosophy is one of creating respect for the weavers and sustainable business.

As a dyslexic designer, Jenny has always been more of a visual storyteller. Growing up in the 60s, dyslexia wasn’t a recognised term, and there was little understanding or support for people who had it. Jenny learned through observation and imitation. She discovered her passion for rug making in 1995 while living in Turkey with her young family.

“In the 90s, I spent time in Turkey and met girls who, though illiterate, told their stories through motifs woven into rugs, almost like tapestries of their lives, using beautiful colours. This deeply touched me, and I realised I might be able to express myself in a similar way. That was the beginning of my journey into rug design,” Jenny says.

Exploring Turkey’s famous rug markets, she began selecting pieces to bring back to Australia. After returning, Jenny began creating contemporary designs—a concept new to hand-knotted rugs. In 2001, she became one of the first Australian designers to create contemporary hand-knotted rugs, growing alongside the movement toward modern interior design. Jenny was the first Australian to win best contemporary design on the world stage, placing Australia on the map for leading trends in textiles.

Since then, Jenny has built her business on creating personal connections with clients to find the perfect rug for each project. Her contemporary works and modern-day classics reimagined traditional designs, bringing them into the 21st century with sophisticated colours. Nearly 30 years into her career, with collections in the US and Asia and numerous international awards, Jenny is recognised globally as one of the top contemporary rug designers, continuously pushing boundaries with stunning, bespoke designs.
