Treasures from Malta

Meet designer Suzanne Sharp

Francesca Balzan Season 3 Episode 3

Rug and interiors designer Suzanne Sharp has had a very colourful career! Together with her husband, Christopher, she has risen to become one of the leading exponents in rug design internationally. Her roots are Maltese, and indeed the first shop that set the couple on their incredibly successful design path, was a shop they opened in Sliema. Since then they have never looked back, establishing the Rug Company and growing their business in several areas. From retailing traditional oriental rugs, they made the leap into designing artistic high-end carpets, as well as commissioning big name international artists and designers and expanding into tapestry design and more. Suzanne Sharp has in recent years turned increasingly to interior design, furniture and wallpaper design. She has also returned to her roots, turning a historic building into a unique hotel that is slated to open in 2023 in Attard, Malta.
