Process

CUSTOM ORDERS
At INIGO ELIZALDE RUGS, custom work is at the core of what we do. We create one-of-a-kind handmade rugs and carpets tailored specifically to each project — residential, commercial, hospitality, and everything in between. Sometimes the process begins with one of our existing designs; other times, it starts from a completely blank canvas.

Working closely with clients, designers, and architects, we develop pieces that are fully customized in size, shape, color, material, texture, and construction. From statement area rugs to fully integrated wall-to-wall installations, every piece is made to order through our network of artisan workshops and production partners.

The process takes time — as all truly handcrafted work does — but the result is something deeply personal, highly considered, and made to last.

DESIGN PROCESS
Every custom project begins with a conversation. We work closely with each client, designer, or architect to understand the space, functional needs, aesthetic direction, and overall vision for the piece. From there, we develop design concepts, material options, color studies, and digital renderings tailored specifically to the project.

Once a direction is finalized, we move into sampling and technical development. Depending on the project, this may include strike-offs, pom submissions, material tests, or construction samples to ensure that color, texture, scale, and finish are all working correctly before full production begins.

After final approval and deposit confirmation, production is scheduled with the appropriate workshop or mill. Lead times vary depending on size, construction, materials, and overall complexity, but every project is overseen closely from development through delivery. We remain in constant communication with our production partners throughout the process to ensure quality, consistency, and timely execution at every stage.
