WEAVING PLACE INTO DESIGN: A LAKESIDE HOME TOLD THROUGH CUSTOM RUGS
Situated on Lake Simcoe, the Keswick residence is a serene retreat designed for a couple embracing their golden years. Working with Elizabeth White of Elizabeth J. White Design & Consulting, Creative Matters developed a series of custom rugs to help define, ground and connect the home’s interiors, chosen not only for our original designs but for our ability to deliver with expertise. Crafting eight rugs for the space, each had its own narrative, yet all contributed to a seamless sense of place, reflecting the homeowner’s affection for whimsy, storytelling and lakeside living.

OUR RAVEN RUG TAKES FLIGHT
We were delighted to debut our Raven rug at the Maison&Objet design show in Paris last month. Raven is the first in a series of rugs we are currently calling The Storytelling Collection. Each of the rugs will be based on the artwork of a Canadian indigenous artist and recreated in a handtufted or handknotted technique.
