Walls, floors, and surfaces that add personality through material
Defined by understated luxury, it combines refined craftsmanship with exceptional comfort. Woven from bamboo silk, the velvety texture delivers a soft, luminous surface that enhances interiors with a subtle sheen. The collection offers varying pile heights to suit different preferences, from a refined low profile to a deeply plush feel underfoot. Designed for both residential and light contract settings, BLISS balances durability with indulgence. Made in Portugal, these carpets create a sophisticated foundation, bringing warmth, texture, and a quiet sense of elegance to contemporary living spaces.

Through two distinct collaborations, Iwan Maktabi expands the role of handwoven carpets, positioning them as active spatial and sculptural elements within contemporary design. In partnership with David/Nicolas and de Gournay, carpets are integrated into an immersive interior where rhythm, repetition, and line extend across surfaces, dissolving boundaries between wall and floor to create a continuous architectural experience shaped by material flow and atmosphere. In a second collaboration with Abeer AlRabiah and Albandari Sulaiman under Jusoor Design Collections, carpets are reinterpreted as sculptural seating forms inspired by coral ecosystems, translating textile heritage into tactile, three-dimensional objects. Across both projects, traditional hand-knotting is reimagined through a contemporary lens, where craft becomes a medium for spatial storytelling, material experimentation, and cultural reference.

Slo is an artisanal surface that transforms interiors through texture and variation. Crafted from high-fire stoneware, each tile is individually made and finished with a layered glaze that reveals a dynamic interplay of tone and pattern. The hand-applied detailing introduces a sense of movement, ensuring every composition feels unique and expressive. Subtle irregularities celebrate the handmade process, adding depth and authenticity to the surface. Designed for walls and interior features, it offers a refined yet characterful backdrop that brings warmth, individuality, and a contemporary crafted aesthetic to any space.

Designed by Claudio Meninno for Spaghetti Wall explores the beauty of gesture through a refined, freehand composition of fluid linear strokes. The pattern evokes the immediacy of hand-drawn movement, where irregularity and softness create a delicate visual rhythm across the surface. Rather than imposing structure, it allows the wall to breathe, introducing depth through subtle contrasts and spontaneous flow. The result is a decorative language that feels intimate and expressive, balancing artistic freedom with contemporary restraint. Righe Incerte transforms interior surfaces into quiet compositions of movement and light, where each line carries a sense of natural, unforced elegance.
