All About The Weave
As designers increasingly return to the grassroots of their craft, we at Flock present you with a collection of rugs and carpets, using natural fibres and applying traditional artisanal techniques.
The renaissance of the handmade element in weaving meets our desire to preserve artisanal crafts in new and modern ways.
A new contemporary aesthetic elevates the visual and the tactile appeal of woven flooring.
The processes of retting, scutching, hackling, drafting – the hand preparation of fibres for spinning and weaving into yarns – is steeped in history
Each piece is unique and tells its own story. Our hand-finished products have elegance along with environmental credentials

Our Origins
The Sethia family have deep roots in the global Jute industry, emigrating from the Indian sub-continent to set up their first UK business in the late 1920's; wholesaling and distributing the “golden fibre” globally.
Jute acquired the title of the “Golden Fibre” as its’ usage mushroomed over time; particularly as an industrial input material. Diverse applications from rope-making, packaging, power cable production, interior car insulation, etc. including carpet & carpet backing!
As industrial applications grew, the beautiful fibre was devalued and its aesthetic properties forgotten.
Ashoke & Anjana have their familial roots from an area abundant with diverse flora and fauna. We both wanted to showcase and promote these in a unique and unprejudiced way. Our experimentation with different plant fibres led to the creation of an esoteric botanical rug collection, using reeds and plants such as Water Hyacinth, Okra, Rati, Kenaf, Makai, Hogla, Aloe and of course Jute; amongst others.
The remit being that they would be sustainably sourced and to provide social and economic sustenance to the local communities from which they originate.
From initial collections through to building a coterie of skilled artisans, Flock embraces the ethos of “Cradle to Cradle” values. We are constantly rethinking our use of common plant materials to create floorings of diverse character; highlighting the inherent beauty of the plant.
