The Vision: Welcome to the Neighborhood


When the time came for Design Well Spent Co. (DWSCO), a commercial interior design firm based in Seattle, to move out of their coworking office into a space of their own, the historic Terminal Sales Building checked all the boxes.

The architectural charm, proximity to the bustling Pike Place Market, and stellar views made the choice easy. Not to mention, the abundance of design-focused neighbors in the building, including the Curran Floor offices just a few floors above their new space.

The Project: Adding Warmth with Texture and Tone

MaryBeth and her team at Curran guided new neighbors, DWSCO, toward the SynSisal® line for its durability features and customizable options. The chunkier woven texture and warm, natural tones offered in the SynSisal® Langley line softened the office’s concrete floors, creating a foundation for the predominantly neutral workspace.

The idea was to create a space that did not interfere with the designers’ creative process or the amazing views of the Puget Sound. Rounded form and alternating colors give interest and playfulness to an otherwise subdued material.

One year after installation, the rugs have worn beautifully and are a key element in the overall design of DWSCO’s home. The Curran and DWSCO design teams both look forward to collaborating on many more projects in the future.

Irregular Shapes and Custom Cuts


Every space is unique, so why not fit the rug to suit the space?

For DWSCO, designing their own office was an opportunity to let their design imaginations run free and think outside the rectangle. Their vision was to anchor each row of workstations on a tablet-shaped rug base and switch up the tones to liven up the bare concrete floors.
