CREATIVE MATTERS TO PRESENT TWO NEW COLLECTIONS AT DOMOTEX 2016


Shortlisted for a Domotex 2016 Carpet Design Award, Crystallize from Creative Matters' new Arctic collection is hand-knotted of wool and silk and inspired by the frost that forms on glass in winter.  


 

TORONTO -- Creative Matters will present its new Arctic and Perennial rug collections to the world's key interior design decision makers at Domotex 2016 in Hannover, Germany from Jan. 16-19. The company announced today it has been notified that the Crystallize Ice rug from the Arctic collection is one of three shortlisted designs for the Domotex Carpet Design Awards in Category 2: Best Modern Design Superior. Creative Matters will show at stand E53-1 in Hall 17.

 

 
Reminiscent of frost, the new Crystallize rug from Creative Matters is a versatile design appropriate for modern and traditional interiors.

Although distinctly different in style, both Arctic and Perennial are hand-knotted of wool and silk, and reflect the Toronto-based design studio’s commitment to handmade rugs and fair trade, The Arctic collection comprises 11 designs that explore the intricate formations of frozen water in an "icy" grey blue palette. The additional 11 new designs that make up Creative Matters' Perennial collection celebrate the power of sophisticated florals and their ability to embolden an interior.

 
Viva from the new Perennial rug collection by Creative Matters is an explosion of blossoms in 14 colors and 21 blends.

"Our designers and our artisans worked on these designs throughout 2015 and I cannot wait to see them hanging together at Domotex," said Carol Sebert, owner and president of Creative Matters. "Both collections are influenced by natural elements, both are enhanced by the richness of wool and silk yarns, but they will play totally different roles for the interior designer."

Crystallize Ice will be on display with other shortlisted designs in a dedicated presentation area in the middle of Hall 17. Domotex will announce the winners of the Carpet Design Awards, which are seen as the world's highest accolade for contemporary hand-made carpets and rugs, on Sunday, January 17, in an awards ceremony.

"In addition to the new collections, we will also exhibit Drift-Wheat from our XXV Collection. The original Drift-Blue has been very popular with retailers and as a base design for custom projects, so we reworked it in soothing honeyed tones which fuse effortlessly with delicate silver and alabaster highlights," said Sebert.
