For 35 years Creative Matters has been working with international interior designers and architects to create luxurious custom floor and wall coverings for high end hotels, boutique retailers, stylish offices, elegant homes, diplomatic missions, and cruise ships. Alongside these projects we also create our own designs for our handknotted rug collections. This extensive experience has enabled us to nurture a roster of the finest artisans - those uniquely capable of realizing the highest quality creations for our clients. We cater to a wide variety of design styles that can be easily customized for complex spaces including large scale areas, corridors and staircases, through various manufacturing techniques such as handknotted, handtufted, handwoven and Axminster.

Goodmoods will present (Ré)Création, an exhibition created for the City of Paris to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Grands Prix de la Création. Unveiled in the Galerie Joseph on rue Payenne, the installation will honor three decades of French design with a playful and engaging look. The prizewinners' pieces, selected for their optimistic color schemes and whimsical features, will interact in a schoolyard-like setting.

the Institut suédois presents the exhibition Fine Dying by Misschiefs, a feminist platform founded in 2020 by French-Swedish artist Paola Bjäringer. A spectacularly laid table awaits its guests. The atmosphere is chic, extravagant and colourful. But on closer inspection sharp knives and blood conjure up a feeling of violence. The installation, an ironic nod to the idea of fine dining, combines unique creations by nine womxn artists and designers: Isa Andersson, ButchXFemme, Klara Fahrman, Popline Fichot, Maria Pita Guerreiro, Lotta Lampa, Anna Nordström, Yngvild Saeter and Sara Szyber. Each hand-crafted piece is a refined object: a vase, a lamp, a candlestick, a glass, a tablecloth, a tablemat, etc.
