Before there were mugs, there were rugs.

Patricia Baun painted them by hand - bold geometry, rich colour, hours of careful work. Her rugs were celebrated in Architectural Digest, Dwell and the New York Times. They were beautiful. They were also painstaking to make and out of reach for many who loved them. 

That tension stayed with her. Art you actually love shouldn't require a gallery or a waiting list.  It should be able to live on a kitchen self, held in two hands, filled with something warm. 

Now it does.
