Projects & Applications: Case Studies
HOSPITALITY
Equinox Hotel
Rockwell Group. Manhattan, New York, USA.
Designed by the Rockwell Group, Equinox Hotel in New York
celebrates seamless transitions between travel, work, play and a
healthy lifestyle.
In the hotel’s Electric Lemon restaurant, a bespoke-sized
handtufted rug, customised from Rockwell’s ‘Tidal’ design, acts as a
lively backdrop to this busy, high-traffic space. The hotel’s bedrooms
are fitted with multiple soft abstract rugs to complement the organic
design elements and soft lighting featured throughout the hotel.
CORPORATE & INSTITUTIONAL
Miami Dolphins Training Complex
Rockwell Group. Miami, Florida, USA.
The Miami Dolphins state-of-the-art training complex layers
hospitality spaces, player areas, and offices with a warm and
luxurious material palette.
In the double-height lobby, Rockwell Group inserted a welcome
lounge with a handtufted wool and silky nylon rug, adapted from our
existing Lola design.
The rug composition expresses spontaneous movement and flow
evoking the dynamic choreography of players on the field.
Tidal Moonlight is also seen in the Players’ Lounge and Barber Shop.
RETAIL
Manolo Blahnik Showrooms
Nick Leith-Smith. Six locations worldwide.
London-based design practice Nick Leith-Smith Architecture &
Design is behind over 75 Manolo Blahnik stores worldwide. While
each location boasts its own identity, there is a common focus on
exquisite bespoke flooring, an essential element when trying on a
pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes.
