For more than two decades, Warp & Weft has approached the rug as an object of design rather than decoration, guided by one belief: the material may change, but the philosophy remains the same.
Warp & Weft introduces a new medium, not a new direction. The collection began with a different question than conventional printed carpet asks. Instead of what pattern to print, Warp & Weft asked what the floor should feel like.
Rather than decorating a floor, the studio studied materials: stone, plaster, linen, canvas, weathered timber, mineral pigment, architectural textile, cracked paint. The resulting designs behave like architecture rather than carpet, drawing on surfaces by architects including Peter Zumthor, John Pawson, David Chipperfield and Carlo Scarpa. From across a room, it reads calm; move closer, and texture and depth begin to emerge.
The collection is organized into four families: Surface, material studies; Weave, textile constructions; Grain, directional movements; and Atmosphere, quiet tonal compositions.
