AT CORAL & HIVE WE CREATE CUSTOM HANDWOVEN RUGS FOR THE NATURAL HOME

To have a Coral & Hive rug underfoot is to ground yourself on a natural foundation. Each rug is a unique creation, lovingly crafted and touched by many hands. The making process involves the weaving together of many elements. From the ethical sourcing of local natural fibres, to artful design by the creative team in Cape Town and London, to our large wooden looms in South Africa and India, where singing artisans spin and weave the final creations by hand, using skills that have been passed down through generations.

THE WEAVERS

Our weavers are the heart and soul of Coral & Hive. They are talented artisans using traditional weaving techniques - preserving an heirloom craft while bringing contemporary creations to life. They work together, spinning, weaving and singing the rugs to life on large wooden looms.

THE LOOMS

Our rugs are handwoven on large wooden looms. We have one of the largest looms in Africa, measuring 8x5m and enabling us to custom create rugs of any size and shape. We also work with a family-owned loom in India to give our customers access to the incredible natural fibre offerings and exceptional weaving talents of India.
