> THE ART OF DESIGN issue 15 Adriana Tavares Rugs fashions refreshing surfaces through hand tufted and crafted designs. The bespoke designs embrace shape, colour and innovation to ensure Adriana Tavares Rugs revolutionises the perception of surfaces and turns them into art. Focusing on the translation of drawings, Tavares hand tufts surfaces to create inventive, contemporary and stimulating outcomes. Translating drawings that push the boundaries of flooring and that create statement pieces to bring a space to life. Tavares’ core passion lies within the interactions between craft and education. Her promotion of craft education comes through her research into historic teaching methods, namely the Child Art Collection 1930-1960 located at Yorkshire Sculpture Park within the National Education Archive. Tavares utilises these teaching methods in workshops, her practice and collaboration on community projects. Tavares produces collections but also works directly with clients to create bespoke commissions. www.adrianatavares.co.uk 1 2 Brilliant Lighting has an enviable reputation for creating visionary lighting schemes, backed up by huge attention to detail and substantial build experience.
