Ready for a great summer!

The refurbishment of this iconic London nightspot demanded a carpet which would reflect its classic yet dynamic styling, and durability to ensure a smart aesthetic and underfoot comfort even in high traffic areas. The brief was for a luxurious carpet, opulent in its styling but with resilience. The client was delighted with the bespoke design resulting from the collaboration with the Wilton Studio team.
