Rugs & Carpets Designer

We are inviting qualified rug and carpet designers to submit a pitch to win a contractual engagement covering two seasonal collections: Fall 2026 and Spring 2027.

Selection will be based on design point of view, research approach, and proposed terms, prior to any commitment to execute the work.

TypeContract, deliverable-based — two seasonal collectionsLocationPakistan-basedExperience8–12 years in rug, carpet, or textile design

Design the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 rug collections against our Design Guidance document. Your point of view should be informed by rug-weaving traditions and motifs from Turkey, Iran, and the Caucasus, and by where those designs sit against the competitive landscape — both dedicated rug design houses and national home retailers based in the US & Europe.

The quality and depth of research conducted before any design work begins is a critical component of the engagement — not a formality ahead of it.

Designs proposed without a rigorous, well-documented research foundation will not be considered complete deliverables.

This is what we evaluate to decide who gets the contract:

• Your design point of view for the two lines — direction, not finished designs.
• A portfolio of past designs, along with a compilation of the research conducted in preparing them.
• Beyond design inspiration, your ability to read the competitive landscape — competing rug design houses and national home retailers — and how that shapes your recommendations.

Separate from the pitch itself: these are the qualifications the person or team who actually executes the work must have. Whoever is submitting the pitch is responsible for confirming the executing designer(s) meet these — the pitch and the execution don't have to be the same person, but both must be accounted for before we sign.

• 8–12 years of professional experience in rug, carpet, or textile design.
• Demonstrated knowledge of Turkish, Persian (Iranian), Caucasian, and other textile regional design traditions.
• Working proficiency in CAD.
• Working proficiency in Galaincha rug design software.
• Note: The original brief specified an age range (25–30). That's dropped here — posting an age requirement is age discrimination in most jurisdictions and adds legal exposure for no benefit. The 8–12 years experience requirement is doing that job instead.
