We’re offering exclusive glimpses into the insights of three of our designers at Creative Matters: Madeleine Baigent, Mengting Shen and Sophie Williams. Explore each of these designers' creative journeys, and how they shape their approaches to creating one-of-a-kind custom pieces.
As the demand for Creative Matters’ carpets continues to increase so must our design team grow bigger. This year we have 13 designers not including our three Partners (Ali, Ana and Carol) who still love to fit in some design among their other responsibilities. We asked each designer to select their favourite 2022 carpet and they came up with 12 different answers, testament to the diversity of our creations.
Although 2021 was particularly challenging, it was remarkable how our clients and suppliers around the world - along with our team in Toronto - came together to create some of the best floor and wall coverings ever. We asked the three Creative Matters Managing Partners to choose 9 favourites.
Last year we had the pleasure of collaborating yet again with Crayon Design, this time to create six rugs for the common rooms in Unionville Gardens, a refined condominium residences in Markham, Ontario.
In May 2017, Creative Matters President and Founder Carol Sebert announced the appointment of Ali McMurter and Ana Cunningham as partners. For those who have not had the fortune to work with her, this blog post is an opportunity to get to know Ali in her own words.
Do you feel like exploring the most intriguing pieces that shaped Creative Matters in 2017? Then look no further than this list of some of our designers' favourites which run the gamut from a 36-foot (11-metre) residential runner to a wall hanging for an airport to a corporate rug sprayed with mustard yellow.
Ana's name pops up frequently in this blog because not only is she the Creative Matters Creative Director, but she has been with the company for more than 15 years. In that time she has managed a wide variety of projects and designed over 200 rugs but, here we ask Ana what being Creative Director means today.
She doesn't like to choose favourites because every design is a triumph of its own, but here - from the multitude of rugs designed by the Creative Matters team during 2016 - are president and owner Carol Sebert's top five rug designs of 2016.
