THE REVIVAL OF LEGENDS by THIBAULT VAN RENNE press release https://designspotter.com/newswire/the-revival-of-legends-by-thibault-van-renne/
Legends 2026 is a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Legends 2012 collection; groundbreaking designs and material artistry that were nominated for the International Carpet Awards and helped shape a new direction within the industry.

At the permanent TVR showroom near Ghent (Belgium) you are most welcome to discover the full scope of 32 collections and 12 limited editions.

Architects, interior designers, press, design enthusiasts, and collectors are invited to sense the different materials in person and understand the distinction between 80,000, 125,000, and 350,000 knots per square metre—not from a specification sheet, but through touch.

In addition to its own collections, the TVR studio can also bring your custom rug designs to life.
TVR Studio adapts each design to the room’s proportions, lighting, and colour palette. Services include custom samples, in-home presentations, production lead times ranging from 5 to 12 months, and a restoration workshop in Evergem that provides lifetime support for every piece.
This commitment to quality is why renowned names such as Ilse De Meulemeester, Dieter Vander Velpen Architects, Vlassak-Verhulst, Fendi Casa, and Louis Vuitton have collaborated with TVR for many years.

THE ANTWERP – design by Luc Binst for Wool & Wire press release https://designspotter.com/newswire/the-antwerp-design-by-luc-binst-for-wool-wire/
During Antwerp Design Week, the new rug collection THE ANTWERP was successfully launched at The Living Showroom (an initiative of WOOL & WIRE and BENOFICE).

Wool & Wire creates rugs and wall hangings from raw, natural materials, handcrafted by artisans in Belgium, Austria, and Finland. Designed to improve spaces and everyday life, each piece brings quiet comfort—soft underfoot, calming to a room, and transforming a house into a home.

Based in Antwerp, Wool & Wire collaborated with renowned architect Luc Binst, founder and CEO of Binst Architects, whose award-winning practice is known for projects across Belgium and the Netherlands.

For this collection, Binst drew inspiration from the facade of the Aequor residential tower in Antwerp’s Het Eilandje yacht harbour. Its geometric concrete pattern has been reimagined in fibre. TENCEL™ lyocell adds a subtle sheen and softness, while sustainably sourced New Zealand wool provides structure. Two natural materials, one architectural design—bringing an iconic facade into the home.

At The Living Showroom, Belgian craftsmanship and contemporary design come together through two standout launches.

Made by European artisans using sustainably sourced New Zealand wool and TENCEL™ lyocell, the rugs translate architectural form into soft, tactile interiors that enhance comfort and calm.
