Description
The belief in mysterious and potentially mystical properties of trees are in evidence in many cultures the world over. The tendency to anthropomorphize these beautiful
entities or fantasize about a world that lies within is an age old habit. In the 21st century trees have rightfully assumed a critical role in the preservation of human life.
It is said that the first ever Ogham sigil written was for the birch tree which is associated with light, clarity and immense vitality. Its signature white bark symbolizes purity or purification
and was thought in Celtic tradition to be one of the most healing trees, a harbinger of spring possessing the power to invoke protection and banish all darkness.
Made primarily using the rich deep brown wool of the rare Irish black sheep Zwartbles, The OM series derives from a 1600 year old alphabet Ogham, used mainly to write the early Irish language.
Known for monumental inscriptions on standing stones, its history dates back to at least the third or fourth century A.D, placing it in use long before the arrival of Latin to Ireland. Also called
the tree alphabet, some believe it was created by druids and scholars as a secret form of communication. These mysterious letters of Ogham were paired with ancient Irish tree and plant species,
many of which were considered sacred but have all but disappeared from Ireland’s landscape today.
“The early celts venerated certain trees across Europe and we share their fascination with the ancient Irish sigils of Ogham. I like to imagine this
“tree alphabet” brings one closer to the natural world whilst also creating a perfect carpet design that can spell just about anything”
says designer Claire McGovern
Zwartbles sheep meaning quite literally “Black with a white blaze” yield a high quality sustainable, all natural undyed wool that is traditionally spun and tufted by hand for The OM Series.
Designs inspired by lettering for Birch, Rowan, Alder and Willow all hold great meaning and are offered in unique colorways to choose from such as Burgundy and Green Isle.
On a mission to breathe unique form, color and sustainable craftsmanship into the world of rug design, Rhyme rugs use only traditionally spun Irish wool and non toxic dyes. The wool is
sourced from Galway sheep farms, processed by a 300 year old woolen mill and hand dyed by a 200 year old woolen mill. The yarns are then carefully tufted by hand to exact Rhyme specifications in
our farmhouse studio.

Description
The first design Rowan, widely accepted as the tree of the Druids, symbolizes protection and magic. In Celtic tradition it was believed to have visionary properties and even in Scandinavian myth, the first woman was supposedly born from a rowan tree. It was the chosen wood for staves upon which norse runes were carved. Rowan wood was also thought to foster courage, greater vision and the fortitude to overcome difficulties.

Description
The sigil for the Alder Tree was the third in the Ogham or Tree Alphabet and thought to represent protection of the heart. Like the Rowan, in Irish myth it was believed that the first man was born of the Alder. It was a tree of prophecy and the favored wood for making shields for Celtic warriors. Alder symbolizes confident progress, a support in bravely facing obstacles in life and a help in developing stability and solidity as can be evidenced by the traditional preference to use its wood for bridge and foundation construction.

The Willow was one of the seven noble trees according to the ancient Irish native body of laws, Brehon Law. It had great associations with water and the moon and consequentially with the power of our dreams. In the Celtic tradition, it was the wood of choice for harps but has significance in many cultures such as the ancient Egyptian Pharoahs; willow leaves formed the crown that Tutankhamen was buried with. The Willow Trees healing properties were considered to be its ability to restore flow and harmony within ourselves and the world around us.

Peace of mind", "Inner peace", "Peace and quiet", "World peace"
Peace may well be one of the most fundamentally important words in the human lexicon.
The words we use, think and hear are powerful. With The OM Series collection we explore the idea that designing for wellness is not just a question of advocating for indoor air quality, advanced
water filtration systems, choosing sustainable manufacturers and avoiding synthetic or chemically treated materials. A feeling of wellbeing can arise from surrounding ourselves with design that
is not only composed of renewable and organic fibers like Irish wool but can represent and signify words that have the power to calm, heal and restore.
If we consider that words are the paint with which we illustrate our reality, perhaps never before has it been so important to choose
our utterances carefully and surround ourselves with positive affirmations from which we can draw solace. Language is one of the most powerful human
attributes and even ancient scripture has promoted the concept that life and death are in the power of the tongue. With four new carpet and tapestry designs
that represent words such as Shelter and Protect, Peace, Health and Welcome, Rhyme Studio offers a sustainable high quality and customizable Irish wool rug
design concept for interiors from which one may even draw self soothing and reassurance.
Since Covid-19 emerged, the home has taken on a new critical importance in our lives, not only as a personal sanctuary but now as the key to our survival during a human health crisis.
Playing on the notion that “words we speak become the house we live in” new OM Series rugs strive to offer a more meaningful approach to homeware design that may positively affirm and
contribute to the psychological well-being of our lives.
Made using native Irish wool and the rich, brown fleece of the Irish Zwartbles (meaning quite literally “Black with
a white blaze”), The OM Series derives from a 1600 year old architectural alphabet Ogham, used mainly to write the early Irish language. Known for monumental inscriptions on standing stones,

It is no secret that the Irish are renown for their welcoming friendliness and one of the most popular sayings in the native tongue Céad Míle Fáilte literally translates as
"One hundred thousand welcomes". A lynchpin of any successful interior is one which is imbued with a welcoming and serene energy. When we receive guests into our home, the most important
function of a host is to provide that authentic welcome.

Health, derived from the old English word meaning “whole” has certainly taken on a new meaning in 2020 as human civilization faces unprecedented challenges. The word not only

Suaimhneas, meaning Calm or Contentment in the Irish language, draws its inspiration from Insula Art, a remarkable artistic movement
that emerged during early Irish monasticism. The design reflects the swirling motifs and spiral forms typical of this period of creativity. Often
referred to as the "age of saints and scholars", the era was considered a golden age for the arts in Ireland. Functional floor art or tapestry by Rhyme Studio. Made to
order of traditionally spun pure Irish wool and tufted by hand.
Composed of the finest hand spun pure Irish wool, the debut collection of rugs by Rhyme Studio draws upon the history of ancient art forms and symbols while
incorporating traditional techniques of master artisans.
Inspired by Insula Art, an artistic movement that emerged during early Irish monasticism, the series explores a minimalist interpretation of swirling motifs and spiral forms

Introducing five sculpturally graphic designs with the launch collection, each rug evolves from a hand drawn artwork inspired by classical depictions of triskels, spirals and other
forms. The result is a unique edition of designs crafted meticulously by hand at every stage in their production. “The desire to express a more contemporary interpretation of Irish art whilst
celebrating the beauty of irish wool and sustainable craftsmanship provided the inspiration for these rugs” says Rhyme founder Claire McGovern.
With a color palette evoking the nature and landscape of Ireland and using only the highest quality woolen yarns, the material is sourced

Composed of the finest traditionally spun pure Irish wool, "The Trinity Series" is an alternative sculptural rug or tapestry concept from design studio Rhyme.
Considered one of the strongest forms known to nature and one of the most perfect, the triangle is a powerful and multi-layered symbol. Representing many historical and
cultural trinities such as mind, body, and spirit, a triangle pointed upwards is said to symbolize masculinity and pointed down may symbolize femininity.
“Irish wool is an incredibly durable and rich material to work with, combining this wool with unique shapes and color allows us to create sculptural carpet
forms that can double as functional floor art or wall-mounted tapestry,” says designer Claire McGovern.
The Trinity Series consists initially of three designs with titles such as Infinity, Equality and Power. Inspired by the classical Spiral of Theodorus,
Infinity offers a departure from the traditional interpretation of what form a carpet must assume. A complex piece involving sixteen painstakingly selected subtle
gradations of hand dyed Irish wool yarns, the shape evokes the duality of a spiral that is at the same time made up of a series of triangles. Subsequent designs
explore avant garde compositions of triangles and colors resulting in a synthesis of wool and geometry. More designs in this series to be released soon.
