Deirdre Dyson’s MELANGE rug collection launches during Maison in the City, Paris 15th January 2026
Lady Deirdre Dyson’s new ‘Melange’ collection previews at Maison & Objet in the City, in Paris from 15 to 19 January 2026, before going on display and later in London from April.
This year, rather than restricting herself to a single theme, Deirdre has embraced the freedom of creative spontaneity in her highly anticipated ‘Melange’ collection. Each carpet is a stunning, stand-alone design, but what ties them together is a shared sense of play and humour. Geometric and kaleidoscopic shapes reoccur while the unifying colour palette centres around taupe neutrals, with bolts of burgundy, purple and burnt orange. The luxurious wool and silk threaded carpets are works of art in themselves, designed to complement and ground any luxurious interior scheme.
‘I decided to move away from any preset objective and relied entirely on a random design process from ideas that just popped into my head,’ reveals Deirdre Dyson. ‘There are references to past works using overlays and floating shapes, while some carpets appear figurative and others more angular and geometric. What did become evident is that the designs are characteristically mine. As an improvised collection, the results are interesting, and I hope there is something for everyone and to suit a broad range of contemporary styles.’
The majority of the seven unique designs integrate fine silk elements, adding a luxurious twist to the exquisite wool creations. The full collection is:
CRYSTAL has a jagged, graphic border reminiscent of refracting crystals, with black silk highlights.
The solid black vertical frequency-like lines of SAFARI are interrupted by thinner stripes in two-tone earthy shades of warm muddy brown, to dramatic effect.
Both TRIPTYCH and MOULIN feature a centrifugal force, creating a precise focal point that was completely unintentional. In the former, a trio of animal-print like triangles in burnt-orange and camel are set against a grey backdrop; in the latter transparent triangles overlay a rich burgundy and purple background.
In GLASSY GREENS delicate sea green silks create the illusion of floating shelves, each balancing a rectangular box in the middle, in contrasting muted tones.
Exactly as its name suggests, POUCH is a soft tactile carpet with curving corners and a fluid silk outline, in varying taupe neutrals that lend it a three-dimensional quality.
‘O’ is a geometric study woven in 100% pure wool with translucent layers of rectangles, squares and circles overlapping to form intriguing shapes and angles and topped with an accent of deepest framboise. Every Deirdre Dyson carpet is ‘made to measure’, tailored to each customer’s specification using Tibetan wool and pure silk, available in the full colour spectrum. Customers can either visit the Deirdre Dyson Gallery in London or Paris to be inspired by the carpets on display or have a virtual consultation with Deirdre or her team. Goodweave-certified, Deirdre Dyson carpets are handwoven by Nepalese craftspeople and can be produced for private residential or commercial spaces.
Melange launches online on 15th at www.deirdredyson.com.
