It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Our extended offering consists of 2x design sessions where we guide you through the process of placing your order. Ahead of the first call we will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire and based on your answers you will be presented with 2 design directions from which your rug can be composed according to your preferences.In addition to our pre-design offering, the custom-design offering includes the optional:
— delivery of all of our available colour samples

The second session allows us to test and adjust the design with the samples, template and visualisation at hand.
