Interior Collab x JD Staron, Capsule I: Shadow Play

“We all rise together.”

Recognizing shared values, JD Staron – a leading maker of bespoke rugs for over 20 years under the creative leadership of Jakub and Gosia Staron – proudly joined forces with Interior Collab as our first Vendor Partner in 2021. We are excited to present a piece of that partnership, the first collaboration project, based on designs submitted by members of Interior Collab, that tells a story about light and shadows, and the transition from dark to light.

Introducing Interior Collab x JD Staron, Capsule I: Shadow Play — First seen May 15 -17, 2022, at ICFF, the designs had a tremendous reception with JD Staron’s booth being awarded “Best Flooring”

We’re so excited about the launch of this capsule! Cheers to our Interior Collab members and their chosen designs.

Here are the selected rugs designs that were showcased at ICFF and the inspiration for the designs in each designer’s words.

HALO

by Ahmad AbouZanat / PROJECT AZ

“The Halo Collection is inspired by the solar eclipse, a phenomenon that highlights nature’s utmost contrast of light and shadow at one given moment and reveals a beautiful transition of colors. The collection aims to mimic that moment and show a playfulness in texture that gives the pieces visual richness and depth.”

STRUCTURED CHAOS

By Emi Young / Abundant Habitat

“Structured Chaos was inspired by the holistic beauty of life’s dualities. The juxtaposition of lightness and darkness, stillness and movement, and angles and curves create a dynamic statement piece that feels both modern and timeless.”

DAPPLED LIGHT

by Gianna Marzella / Gia Mar Interiors

“Dappled Light was influenced by shadow and light in our natural environment. This collection is about the juxtaposition between the two, specifically shadow and light. The existence of the shadow, the dark, makes the movement of light even more impactful. Forever in awe of nature, we can only understand light because of the existence of darkness.”

CITY SHADOWS

By Hope Scully / HHS Interior Design

“Inspired by silhouettes created by architecture around the city, I noticed there was beauty in the corners and crevices in dark and light spaces and how they interact with each other with layers of color and texture.”

TRAVERSE

By Sophie Girard / Sophie Girard Designs

“Inspired by an aerial photograph of cultivated fields, I used the field’s boundaries as a guide to compose the design. Splatters and organic shapes were created in water color paint. The result is an abstract and organic piece that can be proposed in many different colors to suit various spaces. “Traverse” means “to cross” in French and seemed suited to describe the movement in the composition.”
