New: Te Aro Collection
The ‘Te Aro’ collection takes inspiration from retro interiors, celebrated for their linear and geometric graphics, and updates them with a modern aesthetic. It features distinctive designs with colorways that capture the vintage essence of the era. Each design is named after a street in Wellington where Lucy grew up, adding a personal and nostalgic touch to the collection.
New Commercial Project:
The Jay Hotel
Multiple Spaces
We are proud to have collaborated with the renowned design firm AvroKO on a stunning renovation for The Jay Hotel in San Francisco. Our role in this exciting project was to create three large, custom-designed rugs for the hotel’s reception, lobby, and lounge areas. Each rug was hand-tufted using 100% New Zealand wool, ensuring both exceptional quality and durability.
Lucy Tupu Camo Tote Bag
Use it for shopping or a day at the beach – this great all-purpose bag will stand up to years of rugged use. Available in two sizes, depending on your toting needs.

Cey Adams
Departure - 40 Years of Art & Design
In collaboration with Cey Adams we created seven designs, each one telling a story about his artistic journey and growing up in New York. ‘Harlem’ is the first design in this series where Cey plays homage to his family’s neighborhood and to his father who served in the military. ‘Cey Adams, Departure - 40 Years of Art & Design’ is a traveling exhibition and our “Harlem’ rug is included in Cey’s vast collection of work. The opening exhibition was held at Boston University, then went on to the University of Texas.
Cey Adams, Departure is now on view at the Pearlstein Gallery in Philadelphia on view through October 5.

Featured Collections:
Cey Adams draws inspiration from 60’s pop art, sign painting, comic books and pop culture. His work also includes themes of race and gender relations, as well as cultural and community issues.
Resembling the look of vintage needlepoint, the youthful themes reflect the collection’s name which means children in the Māori language of indigenous New Zealanders.
