“We all rise together.”
This is the ethos that led in 2019 to the formation of Interior Collab - a community-focused online platform created by Interior Designers for Interior Designers. Its primary goal is to provide its members with a supportive, ethical, and transparent network that empowers designers fosters creativity and gives them the tools for growth.
Recognizing shared values, JD Staron – a leading maker of bespoke rugs for over 20 years under the creative leadership of Jakub and Gosia Staron – proudly signed on as Interior Collab’s first Vendor Partner in 2021.
We are excited to present a piece of that partnership, the first collaboration project, based on designs submitted by members of Interior Collab, that tells a story about light and shadows, the transition from dark to light introducing Interior Collab x JD Staron, Capsule I: Shadow Play.

HALO COLLECTION
“The Halo Collection is inspired by the solar eclipse, a phenomenon that highlights nature’s utmost contrast of light and shadow at one given moment and reveals a beautiful transition of colors. The collection aims to mimic that moment and show a playfulness in texture that gives the pieces visual richness and depth.”
