The Bower Building, London Offices

A Bold Reception for Helical Real Estate

At The Bower Building, London, Helical Real Estate sought a refurbishment that would make a statement in its reception and communal spaces. Working alongside design partner Whitepaper, we were commissioned to create bespoke rugs that would anchor the interiors and reflect the building’s architectural DNA.

The Rug Solution

The design translated the striking concrete wall decor in the large reception atrium into a bold, geometric jigsaw motif. This architectural storytelling became the foundation for four bespoke rugs. All rugs were hand tufted from 100% wool, ensuring sustainability credentials were met without compromising on luxury or durability.

Each rug was custom-sized to suit its space and function:

The rugs not only enhanced the visual appeal but also acted as functional zoning tools, defining areas for collaboration, relaxation, and formal meetings.
