Cooper Green is the sporty one: an olive and moss ground with stripes of chocolate, cream, pale blue and fine racing red, like the colours of a jockey on a summer afternoon. Hand woven in wool, it feels as good as it looks.

Pair it with tan leather, warm wood and a few modernist pieces for a look that is both classic and relaxed. 250 x 350 cm anchors a large living room with a corner sofa, 200 x 300 cm a sofa and two armchairs, and the 75 x 240 cm runner adds a dash of colour to a kitchen or hallway.

Racer Stripe belongs to CLOTH, the collection Layered created with London interior architect Tom Morris, founder of Morrisstudio. His English stripes borrow from Savile Row tailoring, old shop awnings and the colours of horse racing silks.

Handwoven on a pit loom in Bhadohi, India, where the weaver works the treadles below floor level. The result is a dense, flat weave in wool of about 6 mm that lies low and calm on the floor and suits underfloor heating. Handwork means small variations in size and tone. New wool sheds a little at first, which fades over time. Vacuum without a brush and treat stains with lukewarm water and a little soap, then absorb the moisture with a dry microfibre cloth. For a deep clean, choose professional flat washing.
