Bev Hisey: Toronto Based Carpet Designer

From her website:

Bev Hisey has had her mitts in the design field for a million years. She started with fashion, and moved into home decor after the birth of her daughter in 1990. In addition, she has proven herself to be a great resource for a number of notable Canadian design talents.

In May of 2002, at New York's International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), Bev launched a new line of handmade carpets, floor runners, cushions and blankets to great applause and media recognition. Since that time, Bev has been creating an ever-expanding line of quality hand-made products for the home, adding new techniques such as hand-tufting, hand-knotting, die-cutting, and silk-screening to her repertoire.

Bev's products are playfully modern with classic finishings, setting her apart as a design original.

Her talent for creating unexpected combinations of colours and textures inspires the eye to gaze and the hand to touch. "They're the kinds of colours you want to fall into" she says.
