Nexus Designs invited US based designer Haynes Robinson for drinks while he was in Melbourne recently. He started his own company as a seventeen year old in Atlanta, Georgia, designing and selling rugs. He now works collaboratively with nomadic Persian weavers to create beautiful, unique, hand-woven rugs. We love his work – the rugs have a natural, organic feeling, and the designs are subtle and understated. His 2009 Sahar collection can be found at Behruz Studio in Melbourne.
