CUSTOM-MADE RUGS & CARPETS

EXCEPTIONAL CREATIONS, UNIQUE ITEMS

On the strength of the extraordinary heritage of the Braquenié design archives, Pierre Frey is well qualified to create exceptional rugs, offering support and a unique source of inspiration for each project.

DESIGN OFFICE EXPERTISE

Our experienced, specialized staff hold diplomas in textile design and architecture. Their training, creativity and talent go hand-in-hand with perfect mastery of the various production techniques, types of finish (textures, shearing, sculpture, etc.) and material renderings (wool, silk, linen, cotton and mixes). Through their proposals, they take part in all projects with professionalism and state-of-the arts tools.

Personalization

A rug is created through an alchemy of various elements that involves choice of design, associated material(s), coloring and finishing. Our teams can advise you according to the specificity of each project.

MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES

Depending on the desired decorative effect, intended use and setting, our design office will provide guidance and recommend the most appropriate technique. Whether manual or mechanical, artisanal or industrial, the composition qualities and types can be adjusted in terms of weight, thickness, yarn count, knot type and finish.

COLORS

Maison Pierre Frey has always been associated with colour. A real field of creative expression, the proposed palette must be considered, nuanced, subtle, broad and adapted to the material. A box with 800 wool shades has been developed to enhance each new creation. The yarns dyeing is then made according to the request of each project and to the material.

MATERIALS

The Pierre Frey studio skilfully handles the attributes of each material to create the most impressive effects. Even though wool is the preferred material for rugs, the collections play with a dozen different yarns and materials depending on the desire and inspiration: different wools, different types of silk, linen, hemp, synthetic shiny yarns... In addition to the creative possibilities, this range of materials allow to offer products that will adapt to different uses, by matching their composition to the desired destination.

TREATMENTS

Pierre Frey assists in the care of your rugs by offering a stain-proofing treatment, on request, for better protection of the fibers from dust and spotting, as well as an antibacterial treatment and an anti-static treatment.

The projects

For special orders, our design office know-how enables us to work on all types of projects in accordance with planned usage and type of setting and ensures that we are able to adapt to precise specifications.

PRESTIGIOUS PLACES

We frequently use artisanal manufacturing, traditional and manual techniques to reproduce old rugs using the appropriate method (made with Ghiordes knots, flat knots, etc.) or to produce extremely luxurious contemporary rugs whose painstaking execution opens an infinite number of creative possibilities (for private homes, luxury hotels, etc.).

RESIDENTIAL PREMISES

A broad palette of techniques are used for private hallways, villas, apartments, jets and yachts, and are based on hand and machine tufting, contemporary processes that allow the creation of beautiful rugs in less time and for a lower budget than traditional weaving techniques.

CONTRACT PROJECTS

Retail stores, lobbies, hotel stairways, restaurants, casinos and offices are public areas that require appropriate compositions and materials. Axminster weaving on a loom is generally recommended to make carpets that are both very creative and highly wear resistant. For certain projects with moderate traffic, such as in hotel rooms and suites, we propose Wilton mechanical weaving and carded or semi-worsted wool to bring out the refinement and sheen of velvet.

OUTDOOR

The patios and gardens of private homes or hotels/restaurants require sturdy rugs and carpets which are weatherproof and resistant to light, chlorinated water and saltwater. Pierre Frey Outdoor rugs are easy to clean and have properties adapted to outdoor conditions. Their premium polypropylene fibers are highly resistant to light and water for a good colour fastness.

CUSTOM-MADE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

DESIGN CHOICE

According to your wishes, our stylists can provide support and guide you through an extensive library of contemporary designs, use archive documents to reinterpret an old design or create a new design.

THE BRIEF

A dedicated project manager will go over your ideas with you, define the context and provide advice. The project manager is a technical expert who will supervise development and take into consideration project constraints, style and creation of the rug, while keeping in mind budget imperatives and deadlines.

SIMULATIONS & SETTINGS

Our design office will propose simulations of motifs and colors, adapting them to the setting for optimal visualization.

SAMPLING

Your project manager follows the development of the simulation samples to compare designs and colors with the actual environment.

MANUFACTURING

Once the sample is approved, production can go ahead. Manufacturing takes from two to four months depending on the technique chosen.

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION

After inspection, the rug is packed and shipped according to your instructions. We can can recommend someone from our network of installation partners to ensure a perfect installation.
