A natural evolution

Known for its tactile, handcrafted rugs, New Zealand design studio Nodi has expanded its material language — introducing carpet in a thoughtful reimagining of the category.

The collection is a natural evolution of the brand’s philosophy, which centres on the belief that what we place underfoot fundamentally shapes how we experience and inhabit space.

Founded in 2014 by Olivia Moon, Nodi is rooted in a deep respect for material and craft. A background in textile design, shaped by time spent in Milan and India, informs Olivia’s thoughtful approach. Her practice champions authenticity, texture, and the power of natural materials.

With this new offering, Nodi moves from the intimate scale of the object to the architectural scale
of the built environment, inviting a more grounded, intentional experience of space.

“Carpet is the first thing we feel when we enter a space, yet it’s often the last thing considered. We wanted to create something that feels intentional from the ground up — an expression of what we’ve always believed: that texture, tone, and natural materials have the power to shape the way we live,” Olivia says.

Woven from premium wool and offered in a palette inspired by the natural world, the collection is one of tactile richness and quiet beauty. Designed for residential interiors, the range brings architectural presence and sensory comfort in equal measure.

The carpet collection has been developed in close collaboration with the design community, and is supported by a robust ecosystem of trade resources — including custom sampling, specification sheets, and tailored service.

Each carpet in the collection is certified by GoodWeave, supporting ethical production and artisan communities.

Nodi’s carpet is a tactile foundation that shapes the atmosphere and emotional tone of a space. It extends the studio’s philosophy of design as an experience — one that begins beneath our feet and moves outwards, inviting a richer, more connected way of living.
