Passage Midnight
Evoking time’s progression seen in the flow of water over minerals, which gradually fade into space for new directions, PASSAGE distills a sense of elemental tranquility.
Fort Street Studio worked with Mathilde Burkard to translate several of the Paris-based designer and illustrator’s abstract compositions into rugs that embody the indomitable spirit of creation. Inspired by photographs of drawings damaged in a flood, Burkard digitally enhanced the dynamic yet fading movement that resulted from blurred water and charcoal pigments, bringing out the raw beauty of these accidental patterns.

Contour Natural Jade
Fort Street Studio’s CONTOUR carpet design takes its turns from topography and earthly terrain. The slim silk line motifs are disrupted by a river like ribbon that cuts a path beneath the contour lines.
The design evokes a dance between string and ribbon and is readily custom colored to suit the palette of most interiors.
The rug is hand-knotted with hand processed High Altitiude Wool and Silk and customizable in color, size and shape.
Tokyo Tin
Fort Street Studio’s TOKYO carpet design is an homage to vintage Japanese kasuri ikat textiles. The layout of the ikat motifs remain fairly constant throughout the design while the colors shift in depth from top to bottom providing a hint of asymmetry.
The larger solid shapes in the design are executed in either cut pile silk or flatwoven silk according to color. The sunken parts create interest and add a third dimension to an already dynamic pattern.
The rug is hand-knotted with hand processed High Altitiude Wool and Silk and customizable in color, size and shape.
Dave Pinot
Fort Street Studio’s DAVE carpet design was conceived by artist Janis Provisor, who employed bold strokes that created a Ying and Yang / left side-right side duality.
A strong beam-like motif separates one side from the other. The boldness of the design is softened by the execution of the carpet in a plush and sultry quality of mohair and wool reminiscent of Astrakan fur.
The design is hand-knotted with hand-processed Mongolian Wool and fine Mohair and is customizable in color, size, and shape.
Curve Emerald
Fort Street Studio’s CURVE carpet design was conceived by artist Janis Provisor, employing bold strokes on half the periphery of a painting, creating a study in contrast with the minimal field.
The strokes in the continuous curve motif accentuate different values of the same color and culminate with a shift in texture when the lightest shade is reached, creating a dynamic sensory experience for the touch and the eye. The three-dimensional texture is achieved by mixing hand-processed wool with silk and leaving the pile long.
The design is hand-knotted with hand-processed Himalayan Wool and fine Silk and is customizable in color, size, and shape.
Corteza Gold
Fort Street Studio’s CORTEZA carpet design evokes neural synapses translated into graphic networks of luminous and colorful threads.
The design pays tribute to the intricacies of communication, layering scrim-like motifs.
The rug is hand-knotted with hand-processed Himalayan Wool and Silk and is customizable in color, size, and shape.
