STRIKING SHAPED RUGS ELEVATE CONDO SPACES
We were delighted when Arcadis IBI Group asked us to collaborate with them again, this time on three shaped rugs for the new Azura condo building in Toronto. Their Associate Director Heidi Rose provided us with the specific shapes that they had designed to enhance the interior architecture.
USING COLLECTION DESIGNS FOR A CUSTOM PROJECT
Field Law is a Calgary firm that needed four large new rugs for elevator lobbies and a seating area for their head office downtown. Designer Asma Zalzala researched our collections online and then consulted with Calgary's House of Persian Rugs (HPR) to see the designs in person and to discuss customization.
TRADE SHOW HERE WE COME
Just like fashion designers, we have our custom pieces (haute couture) and our collections (ready-to-wear). However, we don’t walk our carpets down the runway, so trade shows are where we present our collections “in the wool” to current and potential retailers.
We are shortly off to NYICS – the New York International Carpet Show - taking place this year from September 7 – 9. It’s been interesting to see this relatively new fair (10 years) steadily growing. Domotex in Germany and Forza Tappeti in Italy are longer-running and among the ones we have attended regularly during our 25 years in the business.
