Inspired by a collaboration with the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture and the Museum of International Folk Art in New Mexico, Crafted Convergence draws on influences from broad and varied sources—from Native American pottery and baskets to everyday Japanese and African garments. Translating the inspiration into broadloom, carpet tile and Durkan’s innovative Definity technology, the design team chose to honor the original materials rather than replicate them. The carpet collection celebrates the skillful use of negative and positive space so elegantly rendered in the handmade originals from cultures continents apart. Crafted Convergence is the recipient of the IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Award for Carpet/Rugs.
