We’re setting the stage for HD Expo by revisiting recent hospitality launches that define our design approach.
Reverie, introduced at BDNY 2025, explores seasonality, movement, and material expression through custom rugs and broadloom. From painterly Axminster patterns to layered corridor transitions, the collection was designed to create immersive hospitality environments that linger in memory.
In historic preservation projects, flooring plays a critical role in honoring the past while supporting the future.
For this project, Shaw Contract Hospitality’s Axminster capabilities allowed the design team to recreate intricate patterning and rich color that reflect the building’s original character, while delivering the durability required for modern hospitality use. Carefully woven, custom designed, and built to last, Axminster provided a solution where performance and preservation work together.
