With a distinguished 143-year-old legacy in carpetmaking, and having woven for some of the world’s most prestigious palaces, luxury hotels, and residences, Hands is celebrated the world over for its luxury handcraftsmanship. Each season, Hands unveils new thematic collections that capture the attention of the design world. ANTONYM is one such collection, exploring the rare and exquisite beauty of opposites.
A Collection of Nine Masterpieces
In ANTONYM, opposites do not clash – they converse, they complement, and they coexist in perfect harmony. In every carpet, the dialogue between contrasts is carefully curated through a rich interplay of patterns, textures, and materials.
At the heart of these handmade carpets is a masterful combination of two luxurious materials: the finest wool and botanical silk. This blend informs a texture that is both sumptuous and organic, creating an untamed sheen that catches the light in soft, luxurious waves. The tactile experience is one that entices and captivates, transforming any chosen space into a realm of sophisticated elegance.
The Essential Touch of Duality
ANTONYM carpets lend themselves effortlessly to a variety of design concepts. In a minimalist setting, the carpets serve as bold focal points. The striking contrasts in their design – such as the interplay between organic forms and geometric precision – add depth to streamlined, understated spaces. For example, the fluidity of WHIRLWIND can soften a contemporary living room dominated by clean lines, while MARBLORE, with its stone-like patterns, brings an element of grounded strength to a sleek, modern study.
For more traditional or transitional interiors, ANTONYM carpets can provide a harmonious blend of past and present. The elegant complexity of ROSETWIRL can complement a classically furnished room with its gentle curves and soft palette, infusing a contemporary voice that elevates the aesthetic. In contrast, the architectural quality of MELTIX fits seamlessly into spaces dominated by symmetry and order.
By their very nature, ANTONYM carpets act as a bridge between styles, inherently versatile, with the rare ability to complement both traditional and contemporary interior decor themes.
Hand tufted in botanical silk and wool, the tactile richness of the carpets also adds a sensory layer to interior spaces. In a bedroom, BLOOMBELL could be placed at the foot of the bed, its plush texture inviting a sense of comfort and luxury, while TWISTSCAPE enhances the atmosphere of a dining area, its interwoven patterns mirroring the layered conversations that unfold around the table.
Whether creating contrast with darker elements in a sunlit space or introducing subtle opulence to a more minimalist room, each ANTONYM carpet holds the power to add character to a space, enhancing its aesthetic and emotional resonance.
With ANTONYM, Hands indulges us in a narrative of the extraordinary – where the beauty of opposites is not only seen but also felt – luxury in its most artful form.
