Some journeys turn out to be pilgrimages.
Journal 01
There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.
— Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Art, like everything else, begins with inspiration. A hue in passing, a shadow across a wall, a ticket folded in a pocket. Even light on a pavement.
Inspiration can come from anywhere.
Many brands design beautiful products out of what inspires them. But only a few venture out far enough to live and breathe it. Many borrow inspiration. Few embody it.
For us, design is a journey inward and outward. We wander through memory lanes, open old notebooks scribbled with half-formed ideas, unfold crumpled receipts, torn maps, and photographs of places and people we’ve met along the way.

The inspiration isn’t borrowed, it’s lived. And then comes the urge to express it in something tangible, sharable, experiential.
Design, for us, has never been about simply talking about a place. It has always been about carrying a fragment of that place, a feeling, and weaving that into something you can step onto. It’s not just the design of the rugs but even the technique to craft them that binds to our time there.
Shibuya Crossing is one such rug that was born right out of our travelogues.

Every rug that we design, no matter the craft, be it hand knotted, flatweave, or hand tufted, every choice reflects a memory. Every color and pattern, no matter modern or traditional, is borrowed from the lens we experienced it through. No matter where these rugs end up. In a living room or a bedroom, they will always carry a core part of Spacewarp.
“An immovable core. A hard core of beauty.” — The Brutalist
Geo Concrete is another rug that was conceived during our travel in the Russian Arctic city of Murmansk.
