A Tale of Warp and Weft

"The fascinating story of Brad Davis and Janis Provisor’s creative journey could fill a book, and now the duo has done just that with the release of a new monograph. The two accomplished artists stumbled into the world of rug making when, on a yearlong stint in China, they attempted to make a silk rug for their New York loft. That undertaking evolved into a wide-ranging exploration into the previously untapped possibilities of rug weaving. Their discoveries in the realm of digital technology ultimately enabled weavers to produce carpet designs previously never thought possible. The beautiful results, reminiscent of original watercolors, and the couple’s revolutionary process serve as a reminder to fellow creatives: Never stop experimenting." —ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST

"Artists and designers Brad Davis and Janis Provisor celebrate the 25th anniversary of their innovative partnership in A Tale of Warp and Weft." —ELLE DECOR

"Launched in the mid-1990s, Fort Street Studio helped redefine the rug industry by introducing more free-flowing forms, at the time a dramatic departure from the traditional patterns and shapes. Today, their unique creations can be found in remarkable interiors conceived by such designers as Francis Sultana, Christian Lyon, and Jacques Grange as well as in a comprehensive new monograph The Tale of Warp and Weft (Rizzoli)." —GALERIE MAGAZINE
