OUR STORY

MEET THE FOUNDER

Samantha Gallacher has always had a keen eye for aesthetics, drawing inspiration from art, nature, and fashion. A graduate of The New York School of Interior Design with a degree in Marketing from Lehigh University, her career began with some of New York’s top designers such as Glenn Gissler, Bob Kaner, and Kureck and Jones, among others.

Samantha’s desire to create new and bold ideas led her to product and textile design. Emblematic work for companies like West Elm, Max Home, and Raj Overseas followed. Her work has been featured in British Vogue, The New York Times Style Section, The Wall Street Journal Home Section, Metropolitan Home, Design Sponge, Architectural Digest online, Domino Magazine, Interior Design Magazine, and Veranda Magazine to name a few.

Besides designing rugs for her iconic collection, Art + Loom, she’s co-owner of interior design firm IG Workshop, one of the most sought-after firms in Miami. Additionally, she has participated in prestigious Decorator Show Houses such as Casa Cor, Holiday House New York, and Kips Bay. Along with projects internationally from Canada, England, and South America.

Samantha has also created unique pieces through collaborations with the best furniture and interior designers and artists. With a portfolio that covers commercial and residential spaces, from interior design to home textiles and fashion, Samantha is one of Miami’s most versatile designers and artists.

Samantha uses her vast knowledge of color and textiles to design and create Art + Loom bespoke rugs, a unique complement to any project, and in its pure essence ‘art for the floor’.

OUR VISION

At Art+Loom, we see the floor as a canvas. A rug is more than a finishing touch: it can bring the character and presence of a work of art into a room.

We create original designs and we love partnering with artists and other creatives to explore how their work can be translated into textiles. Through unexpected forms, rich materials, and close collaboration with skilled makers, we create pieces that shape how a space looks and feels. 

Made to be lived with, each rug is also designed to draw the eye, spark conversation, and make a room feel distinctly its own.
