Paulig New Arrivals

We have just received another shipment of our Moroccan handwoven carpets by Paulig. The carpets are made of felted wool, wrapped around a jute core for strength. All three styles are reversible.

- Monza Twister Design. 8' x 10'. Shown in creams and greys. An interesting 3-colour design. Choose from 40 different colour options to create your custom 3-colour design. Also in stock in 6' 6" x 8' in creams and beige tones.

Texere Collection:: (l. to r.): Biosphere, Wave, Playa.

We have just received a number of pieces from the Texere Collection, produced by Lapchi. In contrast to their contemporary carpets handcrafted in Nepal, the Texere collection is handknotted in Pakistan.

By using vegetable dyes and an overtwisted wool, Lapchi is able to produce beautiful shading in these carpets, with a wonderful depth to the colours.

In addition to the pieces we have in stock, the Texere collection can also be custom-ordered in any size, and colours can be adapted to suit your interior.

Diurne New Arrivals

We have just received a number of full-sized pieces from our Parisian supplier Diurne. Pictured above are three 8' x 10' pieces, (l. to r.): the Aminima collection, the Kimono collection, and the Reflet collection.

We have more images and samples of these collections available for viewing in our showroom.

Salsa Lounge Shipment

We have just received a shipment of Salsa Lounge Poufs in assorted sizes and colours. We will post a page of current stock with images shortly.

Office in Mitchell Freedland Show Suite

We were thrilled to work with Vancouver's leading designers, as they were commissioned to design and furnish a number of the showsuites at Millennium Water in False Creek (the site of the Olympic Village.)

We supplied the carpets for the following designers' suites: Alda Pereira Design, BYU Design, CHIL Design Group, Kodu Design, Ledingham Design Consultants and Mitchell Freedland Design.

We were given the opportunity to photograph our carpets in these suites, and have uploaded the images to our installation gallery. To jump directly to the images, click on this link. If you would like to see some of our other installations, click on the "Installations" link in the top menu bar.

Salsa Lounge Room Shot

Arriving just in time for the IDSWest show last week, we were pleased to introduce the new Salsa Lounge ottomans from our supplier Paulig.

These pieces can be used as ottomans, footstools, or simply as additional seating when you need it. Their organic shape and natural felted wool surface are very attractive, and they look great even as sculptural elements in a space.

Available in 3 different sizes (see below) and in all 22 Salsa colours.

New Laura Kirar Colourways: l. to r.: Abstract Winter, Blipmarks Flannel, Chant Bark

Slightly earlier than expected, we have received three new colourways from the Laura Kirar collection.

First is a sample of the "Winter" colourway of Abstract, which is more muted and very well-suited to our West Coast environment than the earlier "Fall" colourway of this design.

Next, we received a Blipmarks Flannel in 6 x 9. The main field colour is a warm grey, the vertical lines are charcoal and the horizontal lines a deep cobalt blue.

The last piece is sample of the "Bark" colourway of Chant. The main field is a rich chocolate colour and the design a medium brown.

As with all of the other Laura Kirar pieces, the rugs are a mix of hemp and wool, for some interesting textures.
