Hiraeth features three Hand Tufted designs and five Axminster designs, showcased prominently on the booth's walls and floor. Attendees were invited to engage with the collection by touching the samples, experiencing the variety of intricate Hand Tufted techniques and yarn types that Brintons offers. The patterns are meticulously crafted, featuring complex, layered compositions of organic shapes and interlocking forms. These designs evoke a sense of depth and texture, inspired by the rugged landscapes of the countryside and the dynamic, visual interplay reminiscent of grazing herds of sheep.

“It is a visual journey through the contrasting landscapes I live in. Intentionally handcrafted and painterly, I wanted to capture each brushstroke and palette knife groove in both Axminster and the versatility of hand-tufted textiles; a textural and sensory reflection of life’s beauty and imperfections.”

Each November, Boutique Design New York brings together the pinnacle of designers, architects, purchasing agents, hoteliers, owners, and developers in the hospitality realm for a thoughtfully curated experience spanning over two vibrant days.

Designed by KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group, Brintons was offered the opportunity of carpet sponsor for the whimsical and dreamy Social Hub (booth 2935), titled Down the Rabbit Hole.

The design space’s narrative was driven by 2023 being the Year of the Rabbit. As both design muse and inspiration, the rabbit represents longevity, peace, prosperity, and, most importantly, hope.

Brintons Senior Designer Scott Evans revived an archived pattern resembling grass in a field using the design firm's selected color palette, adding a hint of clover to impart luck to anyone walking upon it.

After a two-year hiatus from the popular tradeshow, we kicked off a BDNY exhibition return with the launch of a new collection titled 1PULSE.

The booth stood out among its surroundings with a paint-splattered background behind a large cat meowing toward the collection title. In front sat two different chairs, one mustard and the other spiced pumpkin, with an in-between table supporting a gold Empire State Building with a quirky King Kong a top. This purchase was a last-minute addition from a local New York City tourist shop. The floor was appropriately covered with a 1PULSE patterned Axminster carpet. The booth (like the cat) screamed punk rock.

On the adjacent side of the booth was a showcase of sixteen shelves displaying the 1PULSE patterns. The designs were woven in different carpet types, Axminster, Tufted, Hand-Tufted and Wilton, to show the various capabilities across our product offering. Underneath lay resilient flooring from our Arden Trace line with a beautiful hand-tufted 1PULSE rug resting on top waiting for the perfect visitor to enter and win by participating in the brochure scavenger hunt.

The booth consistently had friendly faces stopping by during the show. Some were new, but many were familiar giving testament to the strong connections built over the years by our incredible Sales team. Needless to say, the event was a success. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2023.

1PULSE offers 19 bespoke designs which have been developed across multiple product categories and are suitable for different applications. Each pattern is fully customizable and can be recolored on Brintons Design Studio Online at dso.brintons.net. View the full collection at our website www.brintons.net.

Inspired by the nature of the desert and the modern architecture that surrounds it, Edited Oasis is anchored by a juxtaposition of textural and clean design elements. With a pared down, refreshing palette, escape and relaxation are closer than we think. Soothing, succulent greens and soft shades of blues are coupled with dusty peach and mauve.

Sandy hues and the rich tones of warm amber shine through, while earthy neutrals reinforce the feeling of familiarity and quietude.

Featuring a twist on traditional, Abstract Traditions is symbolized by a playful mix of pattern and saturated yet classic colors. Embodying the best of maximalism, playful old world elements and expressive layering provide a modern take of an everlasting aesthetic.

Bigger and bolder being key, vibrant hues such as coral and bright teal, blended with damasks, florals and geometrics are the signature elements of this trend.
