Warp & Weft is a boutique design studio based in New York City, renowned for its luxurious, handcrafted rugs that marry artistry and functionality. Founded by Michael Mandapati, the studio believes that a well–designed rug forms the foundation of any space — weaving together colour, texture, and form into cohesive design narratives. Upholding traditional hand–knotting techniques, Warp & Weft creates rugs that embody 'soul and integrity,' serving as anchors that capture the shared experiences of their inhabitants. Committed to sustainability and ethical practices, the studio honours the artisans behind each piece while bridging cultural heritage with contemporary luxury, establishing Warp & Weft as a leader in responsible rug design.

Warp & Weft debuts Crossroads, its 25th Anniversary Collection, at FRAMING during 3daysofdesign 2025. This immersive exhibition invites visitors to explore the intersections of past and future, tradition and innovation. Hand–knotted in Nepal, the nine rugs in Crossroads translate the rhythm of ancient trade routes and modern digital pathways into bold patterns and fluid forms. Rich textures of Himalayan wool and Indian mulberry silk evoke memory and craftsmanship, creating pieces that transcend function. Within FRAMING's curated setting, Crossroads becomes a meditation on movement, transformation, and timeless design.
