Custom Handmade Rugs for Interior Designers & Architects

We create bespoke handmade rugs for interior designers, architects, and studios who want full creative control, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a result that feels resolved.

Your ideas are taken seriously, translated carefully and carried through to the final piece, so the rug becomes a natural extension of the space, rather than an afterthought.

A Quiet Extension of Your Studio

We collaborate with interior designers to translate ideas into bespoke rugs, guided by your concept, your client and the space itself.

Whether a single statement piece or a series of rugs for an entire interior, each rug is designed and made by hand, in close dialogue with you. Clear communication, material integrity and creative freedom shape every project.

Full Home Projects

To protect our clients’ privacy, interiors shown are AI-recreated. Each brief and rug is real; the room around it is a close match to the original space, built without any identifying detail.

Private Residence — Historic Farmhouse

North Frisian Coast, Germany

From the brief

A restored farmhouse on Germany’s North Sea coast called for rugs that distilled the calm and ease the family feels each time they return. They do not live here year-round, but this is where they slow down: mornings by the window, afternoons with a book, the coast just beyond the door. We took cues from the home itself and its natural surroundings, alongside the family’s love of reading and a restrained, Scandinavian sense of calm.

Private Residence — Eixample Apartment

Barcelona, Spain

From the brief

A grand apartment in Barcelona asked for rugs with the same wit, confidence and cosmopolitan ease as the family who lives there. We took cues from Vinçon, the iconic Barcelona design store, the city’s Modernista architecture, and the Mediterranean coast, alongside the family’s memories of London.

–

Private Residence — Haussmannian Apartment

Paris, France

From the brief

A Haussmannian apartment in Paris needed rugs with the same quiet intelligence and warmth as the family who lives there. We took cues from their love of literature and history, wildflowers from the French countryside, ancient inscriptions and Roman letterforms, and a fragment of an original sketch for Notre-Dame by the cathedral’s architect.

Why interior designers trust us

A Considered Approach to Custom Rugs

Rugs as part of the architectural language of a space, never as interchangeable products.

The challenge

Sourcing rugs for high-end interiors often means:

  • Standard sizes that do not fit the space
  • Quality that shifts between sample and delivery
  • Artistic intent lost in production
  • Uncertain timelines and communication
  • Repetition, where clients expect originality

Our response

Each rug is developed with you, for one specific interior:

  • Fully bespoke, designed for its setting
  • Renderings and strike-offs approved before production
  • Rigorous quality control at every stage
  • Label STEP Fair Trade certified

What we create

Rugs as art, made to last:

  • Fine art rugs, from living artists to historical reproductions
  • Custom rugs shaped by spatial, acoustic and visual needs
  • Limited editions or one-of-one pieces
  • Floor and wall pieces for residential and hospitality interiors

Who this is for

  • Interior designers, architects and studios
  • Projects where the rug is part of the spatial concept
  • Teams who value close collaboration and material integrity

What this is not

  • A ready-made rug catalogue
  • A rapid-turnaround service
  • A price-driven solution

We put craftsmanship and originality before speed or standardisation.

Five steps from your brief to the finished rug, with clear timings at every stage.

What to Share in Your Brief

The more of these you share, the more precisely we can design.

Project context

The type of space, the atmosphere you want to create, who lives or works there, and how the rug relates to the architecture and furniture.

Visual references

Mood boards, artworks, photographs, sketches, or objects and memories that matter to your client: anything that shows the design direction or the story the rug should tell.

Plans & dimensions

Floor plans or elevations with the rug area marked, and the furniture layout if you have it.

If you need to work out the ideal rug size for a space, our rug size calculator and sizing guide are a good place to start.

Colour & material guidance

Colour palettes, preferred materials and finishes, or references such as ARS wool poms, Pantone or RAL codes, and fabric swatches.

Technical considerations

Foot traffic, acoustic needs, underfloor heating, or installation on a wall.

Timeline & budget range

Your installation date and budget range. Both guide our choice of technique and materials.
