Our boutique-sized team is made up of 12 Wonderfully creative people working in an non-stop-busy interior design environment. We love imaginative people and the crazy worlds they envision. Our inspiration comes from everywhere – other designers, architects, landscaping, marketing gurus, photographers, and most importantly, our clients. We love to work with visionaries who are eager to change the way people use design and interact with it in their day to day lives. Our clients seek us out for our creativity, expertise, style and business acumen.
We love to see new developments in the world of design. We dislike the word ‘trend’ and prefer the word ‘movement’. A trend is like when purple as popular for about 10 mins. A movement is a sustained new approach, which changes design.
One of these new movements is seen in Rugs and Carpets. There are so many new looks and fresh designs. We give a lot of credit to companies like Tai Ping, its subsidiary Edwards Fields and Niba Rugs. They have fabulous designers who are creating great new looks and compositions for all of us to choose from. Anything is possible and most items are customizable.
One of the things we love is the interesting mixes of textures in today’s rugs. Mixes like sisal and silk, silk and wool, and different textures of jute for example. These mixes speak to one of the Five Foundations of the design: Friction and Contrast. The sheen and softness of the silk beside the coarseness of sisal or the density of wool creates a visual and tactile element that we love!
Today, with everyone leaning to modern design, abstracts rule. Some are bold and very 60’s but a lot are neutral, flowing and organic and can be used in a variety of settings.
We still love Aubussons, Tibetans and Orientals but today’s new rugs are a new favorite! It is so refreshing!
