Projects featuring custom rugs, everything from boutique hotels to one-of-a-kind living spaces
The Jay Hotel | San Francisco, CA
Reception | Lobby | Lounge
We are proud to have collaborated with the renowned design firm AvroKO on a stunning renovation for The Jay Hotel in San Francisco. Our role in this exciting project was to create three large, custom-designed rugs for the hotel’s reception, lobby, and lounge areas. Each rug was hand-tufted using 100% New Zealand wool, ensuring both exceptional quality and durability.
Private Home | Hampton Bays, NY
Dining room
Located in Hampton Bays, NY beach community, our client chose a custom, flat-woven rug for the dining area of her home. Hand-knotted with Tibetan wool, we selected a neutral palette, punctuated with abstract motifs inspired from a passion for surfing.
Empire State Building | New York, NY
Reception
Collaborating with Fogarty Finger, two rugs were produced for a commercial pantry and reception area located on the sky-high 68th floor of NYC’s iconic Empire State Building. While straightforward in form and design, their production takes on a more bespoke approach - hand-tufted, 100% New Zealand wool with a tip-shear loop pile in the field, the burgundy lines slightly raised and contrasted by a cut-pile border.
Private Home | Auckland, NZ
Hallway | Dining | Living
My clients in New Zealand asked me to design rugs for three main areas of their new Auckland apartment. Using my Artisan process, I curated three bespoke rugs with a clear brief: to create a calming, zen-like sanctuary for the couple. The Moa rug in the hallway fades from dark to light, making the entry feel soft and welcoming. In the dining area, Wilton adds color and movement, tying in perfectly with the sage chairs and dark wood table. And in the lounge, with its views over Auckland City, we reworked a Te Aro design to bring in their love of retro while still matching the apartment’s palette. Each decision, from color to texture to pattern, was made to ensure that the space felt both personal and cohesive, allowing these rugs to serve as the foundation of a thoughtfully layered home.
Office | Financial District, NY
Amenities Lounge
Together with Fogarty Finger, we designed three custom rugs for the amenities space of a Financial District office building. Each design features bold geometric patterns and is hand-tufted in 100% New Zealand wool for high traffic and durability.
Private Home | Boston, MA
Dining room | Living room | Den
Our Boston clients wanted to bring color and warmth into their home. They chose the Fā design from our Falelima Collection to anchor the living room, an artisan piece for the dining area, and Takahē for their den. Each rug is handtufted in NZ wool, with touches of silk in the dining and living spaces to add depth and dimension to the designs.
Private Home | NoMad, NY
Living room | Central area
Our clients asked us to design two rugs that were similar but not identical, for their living and central areas. We kept the designs simple, creating a subtle statement within each space. Both rugs are hand-tufted with silk borders, with variations in shape and silk color to keep them connected yet unique.
Dock 72 | Brooklyn Navy Yard, NY
Lounge
Located in the industrial landscape of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, whose shipyard roots date back to the 19th century, two custom rugs were designed alongside Fogarty Finger. Made with 100% Tibetan wool, in a flat-woven texture for high durability, and carry symbolic markings taken from well-known ship hulls built at this site.
Private Home | Upper West Side, NY
Living room | Hallway
This small family wanted a classic herringbone pattern and a pop of color for their living room and an ombré runner for their hallway. Made with NZ wool and Tencel for a durable yet silky sheen finish.
Office Building | Financial District
Lobby
In collaboration with Fogarty Finger, we created two minimalist rugs for opposite ends of a grand lobby, designed to mirror each other. Hand-tufted in NZ wool and nylon for texture and durability, the neutral tones are accented with fine gold lines and a tip-sheared loop pile, adding depth and dimension to an elegantly simple design.
Private Home | West Village, NY
Stairs
This West Village townhouse was one of our most challenging projects yet! Working with Sally Rigg of Rigg NYC, we were tasked with carpeting four staircases, each unique in size and shape. Every floor carries its own theme of vibrant jewel tones, all set against a shared neutral background. Hand-knotted in 100% Tibetan wool that suited installation.
Office | Midtown, NY
Lounge | Conference rooms
We produced four large-scale area rugs for this New York office’s co-working, lounge and conference room spaces. The geometric designs follow a repetition which recalls an architectural aesthetic, in a warm and subdued color palette. These rugs not only make a statement, but are made to withstand medium-to-high traffic working environments.
Private Home | Harlem, NY
Dining room | Entry
Method + Moxie and their client decided on area rugs in warm, neutral hues for the entryway and a seating nook. Though the rugs are separated, they wanted them to be thematically connected, which we accomplished by using blue, silk lines – raised for a sense of movement on the nook piece. Each are hand-tufted in NZ wool, for refinement and durability.
Office | Jersey City, NJ
Lobby | Meeting room | Lounge
Located in Jersey City, NJ, our client chose to customize linear-and-grid designed rugs for use in their commercial spaces – a lobby, meeting room and two lounges. All made of 100% NZ wool, five hand-tufted futuristic-looking rugs imbue the spaces with dimensionality and an understated elegance, yet are sturdy enough for heavy foot traffic.
Private Home | West Village
Living room
The organic shape and web-like motif of this bespoke rug – made of New Zealand wool and silk in custom colors – is a truly authentic addition to this Manhattan home. The lines of silk emanating from the center are cut at a higher pile height to produce a sophisticated texture and sheen.
