Elevating Interiors: The Vibrant Collaboration of Arty & Co and Kate Banazi

Interior design often relies on the details that bring a space to life. One such detail is the floor covering, which can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary. The collaboration between artist Kate Banazi and Signature Floors, with Arty & Co has produced a collection of carpets and rugs that achieve this transformation. These pieces combine Kate Banazi’s distinctive artwork with the robust carpets of Signature Floors, resulting in vibrant floor designs that enhance any interior.

The Inspiration Behind the Designs

Kate Banazi’s artwork is known for its bold use of color and geometric shapes. Her work draws inspiration from nature, particularly space, light and shadows. This influence is evident in the rug designs, which feature bold motifs rendered in rich, saturated hues.

The collaboration taps into the emotional power of color and form. The vibrant palettes are designed to uplift spaces, making them feel more inviting and lively. Whether placed in a home, office, or commercial setting, these rugs bring warmth and personality to the floor.

The Creative Process

Creating a rug from a piece of artwork involves several stages, each requiring close collaboration between the artist and the manufacturer. Arty & Co specialises in translating artistic designs into custom rugs, ensuring that the essence of the original work is preserved while adapting it to the medium of carpet.

The process begins with selecting the artwork and refining it for the rug format. This includes adjusting scale, color balance, and pattern repetition to suit the size and shape of the rug. Arty & Co works closely with their clients to create a unique rug that suits their needs.

Arty & Co says, “Our goal is to create rugs that are not just floor coverings but pieces of art that people can live with. Working with Kate’s designs challenges us to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in custom rug making.”

How These Rugs Enhance Interior Spaces

The impact of these rugs goes beyond their visual appeal. They influence the atmosphere and functionality of a room in several ways:

• Defining areas: In open-plan spaces, a rug can anchor furniture and create distinct zones without walls.

• Adding texture: The tactile quality of the rugs adds depth and comfort underfoot.

• Introducing color: The bold palettes provide a splash of color that can complement or contrast with existing decor.

• Expressing personality: The unique designs allow homeowners and designers to showcase individuality and taste.

  
  

For example, a living room with neutral walls and furniture can be transformed by one of these rugs into a vibrant, welcoming space. In commercial environments, such as boutique hotels or creative offices, the rugs contribute to a memorable and inspiring atmosphere.

Insights from the Partnership

The collaboration is a meeting of creative minds and technical expertise. Both parties bring something essential to the table: Kate’s artistic vision and Arty & Co’s ability to bring that vision into a functional, durable product.

Phil Haddrick of Arty & Co emphasises the importance of partnerships like this. “Collaborations with artists like Kate allow us to offer something truly unique. It’s not just about making rugs; it’s about creating experiences that enrich spaces.”

Signature Floors supports this collaboration by providing access to high-quality materials and commercial-grade production standards, ensuring the rugs meet both aesthetic and practical needs.

Bringing Art to the Floor

This collection is a reminder that art does not have to be confined to walls or galleries. By integrating Kate Banazi’s artwork into rugs, the collaboration with Arty & Co and Signature Floors brings art into a new dimension — underfoot and part of daily life.
