Artist Collab - Shannon Wilson X Shelby Finds
Where folklore meets floor decor: the Magpie and Tiger rug is a striking fusion of heritage, symbolism, and contemporary design, created in collaboration with Durban designer Shannon Wilson. Inspired by traditional Korean Minhwa (folk paintings), this rug is a visual story told in wool—a cheeky tiger, a curious magpie, and a whole lot of charm woven into one unforgettable wool rug.
In Korean folklore, the magpie is a bringer of good news, while the tiger—equal parts fierce and foolish—is a guardian figure often portrayed with a mischievous grin. This design captures that contrast perfectly: playful yet powerful, ancient yet fresh. If your home could use a touch of protection and personality, this tiger rug has you covered—literally.
Hand-tufted from high-quality wool by skilled artisans, the Magpie and Tiger rug doesn’t just tell a story—it’s made to last. The tiger’s wide eyes and expressive stripes are set against a richly patterned backdrop, while the magpie perches nearby, looking like it’s about to whisper a secret or start some gentle chaos.
A collaboration between local creativity and centuries-old artistic tradition, it’s ideal for those who like their decor with a bit of cultural depth and visual delight. Perfect for statement spaces, reading corners, or anywhere that could use a little folklore flair and a whole lot of good energy.
This isn’t just another wool tiger rug. It’s a celebration of symbolism, storytelling, and the kind of cross-cultural creativity that turns a simple floor covering into a piece of art. And yes—it looks just as good in a stylish lounge as it would in a Seoul tea house or Durban design studio.
So, whether you’re into Eastern mythology, local design talent, or just really cool rugs, the Magpie and Tiger rug is ready to swoop in and elevate your space—with stripes, feathers, and a whole lot of charm.
