Magic Carpet Ride: Luke Irwin for Anthropologie

September 7, 2015

We’ve been fans of Luke Irwin for a while now (we were pleased to see that he has a Pinterest board called “Luke Irwin on Remodelista“). Described by the WSJ as “an Anglo-Irish Etonian,” Irwin lives with his wife, Alice, and their children in the country in an early 18th-century house, which he describes as “chaotic and colorful, since a home always expresses the character of those who live it. I’ve become an odd rural/urban schizophrenic, traveling between his Pimlico Road shop in London and the house in Dorset.” His dual existence seems to be a good thing; his carpets are equally at home in a country house or urban setting, and add a touch of otherworldliness to any setting.
