+ About The Designer
Naja Utzon Popov is a talented sculptor, textile designer and ceramicist
who is internationally oriented in her work.
Based in an East London studio Naja’s inspiration has always come from a
deep fascination for the richness of shapes and patterns of nature in her
homeland of Denmark, where a passion for textile design, sculpture and
form has run in her family's blood for over three generations.
As the granddaughter of the celebrated Danish architect, Jørn Utzon, and
daughter of acclaimed Australian architect, Alex Popov, and eminent
Danish artist, Lin Utzon, Naja’s works of art reflect a modern edge derived
directly from the simplicity of the natural surroundings and aesthetic
sensitivity in which she has been immersed all her life.

+ Presenting the rug line “Ice”
“Ice” is an exquisite new range of beautifully hand-crafted rugs designed by
Danish artist, Naja Utzon Popov (pron. Nai-ya),inspired by her extensive travels
to Greenland’s vast inland ice plains.
With vibrant color transformations and crystalline forms, the patterns of ice
crystals have been translated into a collection of rugs with bold designs, lush
textures and vibrant colors.
Brightly and boldly graphic, the carpets’ originality comes from their reflection
of the hexagonal symmetry and uniqueness inherent in nature’s pure snowflake
form. The design theme, which runs through the seven different patterns in the
range, defies the elusiveness and transience of snowflakes by capturing their
beauty in functional artworks that can be treasured for generations.
All seven patterns within the ‘Ice’ range are designed to suit both traditional
and modern interiors, and are extremely durable as well as luxurious in feel. A
mix of wool and silk is also available, providing an attractive variation in texture
and appearance to the pure wool version.
Working side by side with carefully selected, skilled craftsmen in India’s northeast,
Naja has ensured that each of her hand-drawn designs has been faithfully
articulated in a high-quality hand knotted and hand tufted rug of New Zealand
wool or silk.
Each commission can be tailored to your own color specifications and can be
made to any size. Most importantly, all of the rugs are Rug Marked, providing an
internationally-recognized guarantee that no child labor has been involved at
any point throughout the manufacturing process.
