When Drew Michael Scott, founder and creative visionary of Lone Fox, teams up with Joon Loloi, we know we’re in for a treat – his first two collections with the brand are proof. These wildly successful lines introduced pieces like the Hollyhock and the Reseda rugs; two instant icons that became highly desired for bringing vintage style and rich character into modern homes.

As Lone Fox and Joon Loloi began to develop their third collection together, they had a strong understanding of what was working – but they weren’t interested in giving us more of the same. Instead, they’ve made this collection their joint experimental endeavor – a collection that’s familiar yet fresh, exciting, and full of surprises.

‘When it came to planning this third collection, the training wheels came off, and we went with our gut,’ Drew explains of this range of rugs and pillows. ‘Our gut told us that animal print, patchwork, borders, and subtle Gothic motifs were the way to go. I think this collection will surprise people, but they’ll be even more surprised by how much they like it!’ he remarks.

All of the prints and patterns give this collection its personality – from the heritage-inspired patchwork on the Sheena Rug to the undulating leaf border on the Francie Rug. But it’s the animal-printed styles that work overtime to make this collection come to life.

According to Drew, ‘animal print is one of those unique elements that is both trendy and timeless. There will be periods when it's ultra-trendy and times when it’s not, but it will always have a place in design,’ he says.

Because the print can be quite contentious – some love it and others… not so much – Drew and the Joon Loloi team wanted to incorporate it in a digestible way. ‘Besides maybe the Rama Rug, which is quite literal, all the rugs and pillows are artistic interpretations of animal prints,’ he tells me. ‘On some, we played with the colors; on others, we simplified or exaggerated the patterns. We came up with some really stunning options that will appeal to all different styles of homes.’

The Clarke Rug and even the Marcus Pillow are prime examples of this – both resemble tiger print but also look completely different, demonstrating just how Drew and the team were able to refashion animal-inspired motifs in a new, refreshing light.

Despite the unexpected prints and patterns, the collection still feels grounded in the Lone Fox DNA – and its color palette is to thank for that.

‘Over the years, we’ve established warm earth tones and neutrals as our go-to Lone Fox colors,’ Drew tells me. Think browns, greens, reds, and shades of blue – these colors are all frequent features in Drew’s personal projects. For this collection, that palette acted as the base upon which Drew and the team introduced other color trends like ochre, plum, olive, and rust.

These warm shades and their tonal variety create rugs that feel welcoming to their core. The Drescher Rug, for instance, can ground a room with its shades of soft tan and brown. Though cooler with its navy center, the Magdalena Rug can act as an anchor with its timeless, inviting aesthetic. The pillows are just as appealing, too – like the gold Wrenwick Pillow and the blue patterned Naima Pillow – finished in rich color palettes and patterns that ooze heritage charm.

Like everything Drew designs, his latest collection with Joon Loloi is rooted in his signature Lone Fox aesthetic – it’s inviting, eclectic, heritage-inspired, and full of character. And with its unexpected design details, it can make your home feel like a refreshed, rejuvenated version of itself. In fact, it’s done exactly that for Drew’s own home.

‘I recently put the Rama Rug in the living room of my 1929 Spanish home. My living room has been through several iterations, and while it looks beautiful, I’ve always thought it was missing a bit of an edge. I didn’t change anything except swapping the vintage rug for the Rama Rug, and the entire room was transformed. The historic details that had felt a bit stuffy now feel new and fresh. I had obviously known the power of a rug, but this reaffirmed it for me!’ he remarks.

If you find yourself in a similar situation – perhaps your living room feels tired, or your bedroom looks boring – Drew suggests that this collection might be what you need to help your home rediscover its personality. ‘Each different rug will change the vibe of the space: the animal prints will liven it up, the neutrals will help ground and unify it, and the geometric patterns will give it visual interest!’ Plus, swapping your rug is a lot easier than undergoing a renovation, and in a way, it has the same refreshing effect.

As a seasoned Style Editor, I know a successful collection when I see one, and this new range from Lone Fox and Joon Loloi is bound to be a hit. There’s so much to love – the playful animal-printed rugs, the geometrically bordered rugs, even the complementary patterned pillows. This collection is destined to give your home a refreshing boost of energy while still feeling rooted in traditional, timeless design.
