There is an opportunity for a marketing manager to join Christopher Farr Cloth in London.
Christopher Farr was founded in 1988 and has revolutionised contemporary rug design. In 2000, Christopher Farr, Matthew Bourne and Michal Silver founded London based textile design studio, Christopher Farr Cloth which, in just under two decades, has built a unique reputation to become a leading design company in London and New York. Most recently the studio has collaborated with renowned designers across the industry to produce new and surprising works, cementing its position as an original and influential force within the industry.
