The collection

The collection features a subtle palette of light, neutral tones interspersed with calligraphic lines in rich black to create an aesthetic range from artful notes of contrast to harmonious blends in a distinctive set of 17 broadloom patterns, and ten 18” x 36” carpet tile patterns. Contemporary clean lines blend with patterns that have a soft painterly edge, in an inspired fusion of textures and large-scale geometry. The designs include lines that merge and overlap bold curves and strong graphical elements that make it highly adaptable at all scales. Tactile comfort alludes to sisal, jute and natural handwoven references that add a crafted feel and a tangible sense of well-being. In addition to the broadloom and tile patterns, the Forum Collection explores shape and form through four distinctive rugs, designed to inspire and suggest custom opportunities. Rugs add a delicate balance to the functionality, aesthetics and emotional impact

of a space.

Alyssa Gagnon, Designer, Shaw Hospitality, explains, “The designs are a fusion of cultural and craft influences, using pattern and texture to evoke a sense of well-being and also as a means of visual stimulation.”
