Sakura Hand Knotted Runner – Wendy Morrison Design
‘Sakura’ is the Japanese word for cherry blossom and it is a glorious cherry blossom tree in full bloom that brings this new neutral so vividly to life. Cherry blossoms are symbolic of renewal, the promise of new beginnings, as well as the fleeting nature of life. A gentle reminder to embrace, savour and make life as joyful as possible.
The hand-knotted runner is packed with blossom, bookended by soaring gold cranes, symbolising good luck and longevity. Each petal is formed by tiny pink love hearts, spreading across the soft grey base, drawing the eye onwards. The design highlights a powerful connection with and the sheer beauty of nature in all her glory.

ABOUT WENDY MORRISON DESIGN
In 2004 freelance fashion designer Wendy Morrison accepted a commission to design a rug collection. It was a turning point; the perfect match for her love of colour and pattern, combined with storytelling. It was the start of a design journey that comes from the heart, that puts passion and craftsmanship at the centre of every project, and strives to connect people, places, art, ideas and nature.
Authentic rug-making demands incredible skill, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Wendy Morrison want to protect those skills, to support the artisans who tuft and weave, and bring our designs to life, to explain the history and storytelling behind rug design, and to celebrate and help maintain this centuries-old art.
Since 2012, Wendy Morrison have worked with the same Indian manufacturer and artisans who share their desire to create rugs of outstanding quality. Wendy Morrison take responsibility for ethical trading seriously and are a proud partner of GoodWeave, a not-for-profit organisation that ensures fair working conditions.
