History
About Tam Wimolvan Vidulich Q: What led you to carpet design? TWV: My first design job out of school was as a junior designer at an award-winning design firm. The day I walked in the door, everyone was already busy on a really big job for Crown Corporation's new headquarters. The only job left was for a carpet for a wood-trimmed hallway. Q: Are there elements of traditional Thai design in your work? TWV: Of course -- lines, curves, a continuous movement, a sort of simplification of the more intricate Thai designs. Since Thai people sit on the floor, carpets need to be comfortable. The carpet is also central to social life, the gathering place, the focal point of a home. Q: What's the most rewarding part of your work? TWV: I guess that people trust me enough to let me put my work in their homes, living with what I envision for them. It's wonderful when I get notes from clients telling me how much they enjoy my carpets, because I've left a part of me in their homes.
