“Designing, for me, is an emotional process,” says Rosemary Hallgarten. “It’s all about feeling.” That’s a very astute comment considering that the British-born designer’s rugs and textiles are so tactile and textural that you can’t help but reach out and touch them, even if you view them only in photographs in the pages of a magazine. Hallgarten, who established her eponymous company a little over two decades ago, creates two collections each year. Her to-the-trade designs are sold in showrooms around the country.
