Tenby, recognised at the 2026 Architizer A+Product Awards

In early May, a note arrived from Architizer's editor. Our carpet LEGENDS: Tenby had been selected as a Special Mention in the Carpet & Flooring category of the 2026 A+Product Awards. I read it twice before I let myself believe it.

We were asked to keep it quiet until the public announcement. That date has passed, so I can finally say it out loud.

What the recognition is

The 2026 A+Product Awards Special Mentions were selected by Architizer's jury of practising architects and designers. The programme spans every product category, and the jury reviews thousands of entries.

For a single hand-knotted carpet to be named among them is not a small thing. These are the people who decide what goes into the interiors they build, and Tenby held up under their eye.

The carpet: Tenby, from LEGENDS 2026

Tenby is one of the designs in our LEGENDS 2026 collection, the collection we developed for TVR's twentieth anniversary. The idea goes back to our original LEGENDS 2013 collection, revisited thirteen years later for LEGENDS 2026.

Like everything we make, it is hand-knotted on a vertical loom, in wool and silk, finished by hand in the regions where it is woven. The award recognises a design; what sits underneath it is the same craft that goes into every piece that leaves the atelier.

Why this matters to us

We have never designed for awards. A carpet has to earn its place on a real floor, in a real room, for fifty years. That is the only jury that ultimately counts.

But recognition from architects and designers tells me the work reads the way we intend it to. My thanks to the jury.

You can see Tenby and the full list of our recognitions on the Awards page, and the wider anniversary work on our LEGENDS collection. To everyone who has trusted us with a floor over these twenty years: thank you. This one is shared with you.
