The Weaver

Location: Mumbai
Year: 2020

The Weaver is a concept rug store that creates bespoke, one-of-a-kind, site-specific rugs for its customers. Their vision doesn’t support off the shelf purchasing, however they are the ultimate insiders, their décor contributions shed light on the highly skilled craftsmanship that goes into making a rug. The
space pays homage to the art of creating rugs and the idea was to highlight the focal point – the process of creating bespoke pieces of art takes place in the conference area and the surroundings of the store space.

The store design tells all. Just like a good rug is the anchor for any room’s decorative scheme, the space incorporates frame structures as anchoring elements to tie-in the otherwise minimal, straight-lined décor of the space. For a store that is built to offer customized carpets with a personality, the layout is effectively kept simple and functional to allow an easy workflow. The layout is therefore planned in three parts – the waiting & cabin, the conference & sample rack and lastly the brain of the store, the administration area that churns the most innovative and cutting-edge designer rugs.
