If you have your eye on new rugs for the start of the year, visit the newly opened Riviere Rugs showroom, where you will unearth a dedication to craftsmanship and natural materials. The rugs here are made from hand-carded and hand-spun Tibetan wool and Chinese silk, woven by hand with a minimum of 100 knots per square inch. The process takes the artisans in Nepal months to complete, which makes these rugs particularly precious.

With an understated, subtle appeal, these rugs complement modern homes without distracting from the rest of the interiors, with a range of designs across various collections to suit distinct design tastes.

After an extensive renovation and redesign, the Sol Luminaire showroom was finally reopened in November. Open and airy, the space showcases a mix of minimalist, understated lights and more eye-catching luminaries, presented in a way that highlights both function and form.

A particularly noteworthy feature in the showroom is the new ceiling, contoured with organic, flowing curves. These tiered waves are not just visually soothing, but also serve a practical purpose, helping customers to visualise the length of a light’s throw according to different ceiling heights and room dimensions.

The brand’s adjacent sister showroom, the Lab2.1, was similarly renovated, transformed with a brutalist ambience that evokes a raw and edgy kind of opulence.
