Private Client in Hampton Bays, NY

Blending organic and geometric elements with hand-drawn lines atop of a gridlike pattern.
Office in Midtown Manhattan

These 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, contrasted by a cut-pile border.
Private Client in Boston
Multiple areas
This professional couple lives just outside of Boston with Casco — their most cherished (and furriest) family member. Rounding out their cozy, elevated aesthetic, they chose our Fā design from the Falelima collection to anchor their living space and had us design a custom piece for their dining area.

Private Client on the Upper West Side, NY
Living room
This Upper Westside family loves a classic herringbone pattern and a pop of color for their living room. Custom designed and fabricated in NZ wool and Tencel for a durable, silky sheen. Kenzie, their Scottish Fold kitty, approves of the sophisticated look and equally loves the soft cut-pile on her paws.
Office
Lobby Area
We designed two minimalist rugs and situated them at opposite ends of the grand lobby to mirror one another. Produced in NZ wool and nylon for texture and durability, the rugs are designed with neutral tones, and contrasted by thin lines of gold and a tip-sheared loop pile. This element adds more dimensionality to a deceptively simple design.

Staircases
This West Village townhouse was one of the most challenging projects we’ve taken on! Our clients tasked us with carpeting four staircases, each one different in size and shape. Each floor has its own theme of colorful jewel tones, all contrasting off the same neutral background. Hand-knotted Tibetan wool was used to ensure a clean, perfect fit.

We produced four large-scale area rugs for this New York office’s co-working, lounge and conference room spaces.

Private Client in Harlem, NY
Dining room and Foyer
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.
