POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Within the historic rotunda of @denfrie for @arkjournal’s DESIGN / DIALOGUE, four Warp & Weft rugs explore the relationship between material, atmosphere, and belonging. Together they form a quiet landscape of color and texture, reflecting our belief in the rug as both object and sanctuary.

WARP & WEFT presents Lineage, a reflective exploration of the studio’s archive and the ideas that shaped its language of modern craft, Design / Dialogue curated by Ark Journal at Den Frie Udstilling.

The exhibition revisits a selection of early works developed across the studio’s twenty-five year history. These designs mark pivotal moments in WARP & WEFT’s evolution, where geometric structure, organic line, and restrained color began to define the studio’s visual vocabulary.

June 10-12 I Den Frie Udstilling
Oslo Plads 1, Copenhagen

For over two decades, ICFF has been a place of return for Warp & Weft. A space where ideas were tested, relationships formed, and a New York studio grew into a global voice in contemporary rug design. This exhibition reflects our journey thus far and the values that have guided our work across generations.

Warp & Weft presents a focused and intentional installation of four rugs. Together, they articulate the foundation of our practice and the principles that continue to shape us: heritage, soul, authenticity, and the belief in the rug as sanctuary.

ICFF takes place from May 17 – 19 at the Javits Center.
Warp & Weft at Booth 1011. Register for ICFF using our code ICFFEXH180

Gensler  ×  Warp & Weft Unveil Forma at BDNY 2025.

Forma, from the Latin meaning form or shape, explores the structure, balance, and beauty found in both the natural world and the built environment. It speaks to the essence of design: how form defines space, and how space, in turn, shapes experience.

Warp & Weft collaborated with @gensler_design, serving as product design consultant, for Forma. The collection reimagines familiar elements from landscape and architecture into distinctly modern rug compositions.

Four design series — Block, Orbit, Tray, and Block Echo — anchor the collection. Within each, three patterns expand the narrative, creating a cohesive visual language that is both expressive and versatile.

Offered in four distinct constructions including hand-knotted, hand-tufted, Axminster and flatweave, Forma adapts effortlessly to any environment, from intimate residential interiors to bold commercial or hospitality spaces. Each technique showcases the artistry and precision that define Warp & Weft craftsmanship.
