Overview:
Hokanson, the Houston-based source for superior custom carpets and rugs, expands the kaleidoscope of design possibilities for the floor. Founded by Larry Hokanson in 1987 as a solo operation, today the company has full-service showrooms in New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, as well as production facilities in Canada and Thailand. The firm enjoys a sterling reputation for both invention and luxury: the house specializes in ornate traditional patterns that reinterpret the lessons of decorative history, worked in exotic yarns. It also produces sophisticated contemporary designs in complicated and unexpected combinations of textures and fibers. "Design is my passion. I love it, and take a very strong hand in it," says Hokanson. So the firm's collection of 500 standard patterns attests. Because Hokanson is a custom source, the existing archive is essentially a starter kit for creativity: each floor covering can be had with variations, in any size and combination of fibers and colors. Prior to production, original designs are rendered on computer or, in the case of highly intricate designs, in maquettes hand painted by Hokanson's five staff artists with yarn samples for color matching attached. Hokanson delights in the many exclusive weaves that he and his staff have devised over the years to show off the company's favored materials' palette of wool, silk, linen, viscose, and sisal... | |
