The Rug Company
Founded in 1997, The Rug Company are global leaders in luxury modern rugs. They combine the ancient art of rug making with contemporary design collaborations with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith. The Rug Company approached Matter Of Form to help reposition the organisation as a luxury lifestyle brand to coincide with its 20th anniversary. They wanted to be able to offer a seamless, engaging experience to customers both on and offline. The website had to be brought to the very heart of the global customer experience, while dramatically increasing conversion and online sales.
The site had to be designed and developed in a very short 4 ½ month timeframe to coincide with the launch of The Rug Company’s well-publicised collaboration with luxury paint brand Farrow and Ball.
We hit the 4 ½ month deadline and launched the site on time to coincide with The Rug Company’s unique and innovative partnership with Farrow and Ball. The site is set up so that in the future further functionality will be added, allowing customers to use 3D imagery and innovative technology to virtually place a rug in their homes, allowing for ultra-customisation and personalisation.
In terms of customer experience the site is one of the most beautifully engaging and innovative in the luxury retail sector – capturing the unique charm, beauty and personality of The Rug Company’s products. In terms of commercial success, online sales were up over 100% in the three months since launch compared to the same period in the previous year.
