Paving the Way with Jennifer Manners

For this week’s installment of our “Women in Design: Paving the Way” video series, we sat down with Jennifer Manners in her showroom in suite 911 to talk about her career journey, the craft that goes into her modern rugs, sustainability, and social impact!

Jennifer Manners is an award-winning British designer known for her exceptional rug collections that blend contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. Inspired by a deep appreciation for color, texture, and art, Jennifer’s collections have garnered recognition for their innovative designs and high-quality finishes. Crafted with care, using both modern and traditional techniques, she’s created pieces that are both timeless and luxurious. The company became a B Corp in 2024.
The founder & Creative Director, Jennifer Manners, has travelled extensively, largely gained from her former career as a foreign news journalist. With an instinctual approach to observation and interpretation, many of the designs are derived from cultures and destinations across the globe. The patterns are often elegant, textured and present a design narrative. Jennifer has long championed the philosophy that a rug is a layer in a room and must sit in balance with other elements, therefore, are designed to anchor to an overall space.
