Blackboard Jungle

Blackboard Jungle is a South African design studio specialising in bespoke, made-to-order rugs and carpets. Based in Johannesburg, the studio focuses on contemporary rug design that integrates craftsmanship, material quality, and interior design innovation.

The practice produces custom hand-tufted and woven rugs tailored to specific interior contexts, with an emphasis on individuality, spatial harmony, and design-led solutions. Each rug is developed as a unique piece, often responding directly to architectural and interior environments, and is designed to function as both a decorative and spatial anchor within a room.

Blackboard Jungle positions its work within a contemporary design framework where rugs are treated as central visual elements rather than secondary furnishings. The studio’s approach highlights texture, pattern, and colour as key design tools in shaping interior atmospheres, offering bespoke solutions for both residential and commercial spaces.
