Sonance - the latest Creative Matters collection - was just released to great acclaim in September. Eight delightfully engaging rugs united by their connection to sound, from abstract to musical, from smooth to angular. And none more smooth than the Prism design with its one curved edge destined to bring softness to many refined spaces.

Imagine waiting in the reception area and realizing the fascinating design beneath your feet not only looks like a map, it really is a street plan of the local area. This visually intriguing complement to the corporate office decor was developed from a formal map but the end result is a simplified abstract presentation.

Grateful and excited, we have just received delivery of this amazing handknotted rug from our artisans in Afghanistan. A new addition to the Storytelling Collection, Remembering Batoche is our painstakingly-recreated rug design from the painting by Métis artist Christi Belcourt that was inspired by the story of the Bell of Batoche.

For a recent photo shoot with our friends at hollis+morris - a Toronto-based modern furniture and lighting design firm - we chose to feature our Redden rug from the Halcyon Collection. As is common with the collection pieces, it was handknotted in Tibetan wool and Chinese silk in Nepal.

This elevated combination of rustic natural wool with a crisp design intentionally recedes into the background to complement the clean metal railings and warm woodwork of the stairs.

When CI Financial needed a rug for their reception area, together we decided upon a customized version of Arboreal from our Aerial Collection.

Our client chose the Ichiban design from the Arashi Collection but needed us to customize the rug in method of production (handtufted rather than handknotted); fibre content (from wool and silk to 100% wool); size; and colour.

Texture reigns supreme throughout our three-rug series installed in the presidential suite at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto in January. Exploring various heights of loop and cut pile in a caramel and blue accent palette, a graceful continuity was achieved with each rug design visually flowing into the next.

What bliss to work with a favourite interior designer; a carefully curated space with impressive art collection; and be given the freedom to play with a colourful palette and daring design.

When Dymon Wine Cellar – a novel concept in communal wine storage – needed a sophisticated rug for the accompanying lounge, we presented a variety of options including a custom version of Orchestra from our XXV Collection.
