Helene Blanche is a Danish textile designer, who holds a degree in textile design from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Helene Blanche is known for her playful, original fabric and wallpaper collections characterised by a Scandinavian attention to detail and longevity. By reaching into design traditions and decorative styles of the past, she is making modern textile history. Helene Blanche sources her materials and production in collaboration with a long line of independent craftspeople both locally and internationally. She is constantly increasing her awareness of styles and materials through her work with tactile and decorative materials. 

The collection is the result of a family love affair. With Linie Design co-founder Hugo Anthon being the uncle of Helene Blanche’s husband, she always knew that one day she would try her designer skills on a rug.

In 2022 the timing felt right for both parties, and with Linie Design’s weaving expertise based in the Northern part of India, combined with Blanche’s exquisite take on Danish design, the result is a contemporary take on the classic the hallway runner.

Combining a modern expression with a traditional craftsmanship finish, The Kindred Path collection is a strong and bohemian addition to Linie Design’s timeless portfolio of rugs.
