MACRAME - THE LATEST AND MOST TEXTURAL RUG COLLECTION
Macrame is Creative Matters’ 14th rug collection and it’s an extra special one. Extra special because texture plays a much bigger role in the designs than it has in previous collections. To achieve the desired richness of texture the designers looked to skillfully combine an extravagant variety of weaving techniques.
PRESENTING THE SONANCE RUG COLLECTION
We are delighted to present Creative Matters’ twelfth and most recent collection of handknotted rugs. Yet another outstanding contemporary compilation of carefully considered designs brought to life in Tibetan wool and Chinese silk by the artisans of Nepal.
WELCOME CANADIAN WOOL COLLECTION
When our President Carol Sebert met Matthew Rowe from Campaign for Wool - Canada at the opening of our new showroom in September 2019, little did we know that a year later we would be launching a capsule collection of rugs made from 100% Canadian wool.
MEET HALCYON – OUR TENTH COLLECTION
Welcome to Halcyon, our most recent collection. We’re excited to show off the new images here along with insights from the design team behind these works of art. The beautiful fair trade rugs themselves are now proudly on display in our new studio.
SNEAK PEEK AT A NEW COLLECTION
As we write 11 new rug designs are currently on the looms in Nepal. Talented weavers are recreating our two-dimensional compositions into textural beauties comprising thousands of hand-tied knots in wool and silk. Due for delivery in early September, they will form our Halcyon Collection.
WE'VE CREATED A NEW TYPE OF RUG
While most of our studio work consists of handknotted, handtufted or machine made floorcoverings, Senior Designer Sandra Ciganic-McKinney has been heading up a project developing a new type of area rug that is essentially a handtufted, zero pile rug with a screen printed field.
WELCOME TWO NEW RUG COLLECTIONS!
Creative Matters will proudly launch two new versatile rug collections at The Rug Show in New York (September 10 - 13). Arashi and Architexture, like all our collections, are made of wool and silk in Nepal using the timeless technique of handknotting.
