exclusive interview: emma gardner design

What makes for a compelling rug? Is is the colors used? The pattern? The material? Emma Gardner, principal of Emma Gardner Design, knows how to create a rug that enlivens an interior and inspires a person; she's been creating gorgeous, high-end rugs under her company since 2003. Full of bright color combinations, organic and geometric patterns and exquisite materials, you're going to wish you had a few of these rugs underfoot while reading this post. Hailing from a creative background, Emma Gardner's talent is apparent from the get-go. Her company hasn't just been around for almost a decade, it's been wildly successful for nearly that long. Emma credits her success to some smart business moves and lots of press love, and while both those are no doubt true, we credit her success in this creative field simply due to her eye for how to create home textiles that will be enjoyed and loved by a large number of people. Though Emma Gardner Design has furnished high-end goods for a number of years, recently they've been incorporating products that can be enjoyed by a larger market, and a recent move across the country means some exciting news for Emma Gardner Design fans: a showroom is coming late Spring in Petaluma, California! We grilled Emma in this interview about her prolific creative background, her inspirations and what's coming up next for Emma Gardner Design!
