COLLECTION RUG CAREFULLY CUSTOMIZED FOR CORPORATE CONTEXT

When HOK came to us looking for rugs for their financial client’s offices, they spied the enchanting Estelle design from our Halcyon Collection where soft tones harmonize with the playfulness of rhythmic lines. The collection rugs can often be customized in size, colour, fibre, method of production and scale so we offered to resize the design for each of four large rugs and produce the rugs in 100% wool thereby eliminating the silk that might be too delicate for this corporate environment. Originally designated as a handknotted rug, we also reconfigured the artwork for the more robust handtufted method of production and specified the J pile tufting technique that mimics a handknotted appearance with similar lineal and directional texture. The result? Gentle colours and layered design balance the overall tone of the room in a design as uplifting as it is calm.
