A RUM FELLOW is a UK design studio dedicated to artisan textiles and handcrafted rugs and emblazed by colour and intricate pattern. It’s a balance of contemporary and heritage design achieved with the finest materials and the skills of master craftsmen.

A RUM FELLOW was founded by Caroline Lindsell and Dylan O’Shea, a partnership that fuses a desire for beautifully crafted and well-travelled design befitting a contemporary lifestyle. In the spirit of the intrepid British explorers, they traverse the globe in search of the wonderful and unique.

The design studio was founded on 3 principals - Design, Quality and Integrity. Creative Director Caroline’s signature style infuses collections with layered pattern and expressive use of colour, at once sympathetic to their heritage whilst achieving a timeless aesthetic. 

A commitment to quality and integrity spurs the couple to explore less travelled parts of the globe in the pursuit of uncommon techniques and exceptional craftsmanship. Each element is crafted by an expert in their discipline in order to achieve an unparalleled quality throughout collections.

A RUM FELLOW is rooted in the design we love, the values we hold, and a firm belief that beautiful design can be a force for positive change. We celebrate and support our incredible artisans with a commitment to fair trade principals. The studio’s approach harnesses the power of creativity to promote disadvantaged artisans and preserve artisanal craft practices through great design and a contemporary sensibility.
