Jamie Stern Furniture, Carpet, Leather, Fabric, a leading resource for the hospitality, contract and residential markets, is proud to announce Woven Resistance, a four-city exhibition and a month-long online auction of 13 unique carpets designed in collaboration with leading interior designers and architects. Proceeds from Woven Resistance, which kicks off with an event in New York on February 5 at the Freehand Hotel, will benefit LGBTQ Rights, Civil Liberties and the Fight Against Climate Change.
Woven Resistance brings together 13 interior designers and industry professionals to create one-of-a-kind hand-tufted and flat weave rugs in sustainable fibers. Each is an original work of art representing the designer’s personal response to the current political environment in the United States. Participating designers include Matt Goodrich of Goodrich Design; Penelope Fischer-White; Suzanne Tick, of Suzanne Tick Designs; and others.
Throughout February, Woven Resistance will travel the country for a series of live exhibitions. In partnership with Freehand Hotel Group, a selection of carpets will be spotlighted with one-day, in-person events at Freehand New York (February 5), Freehand Miami (February 11), Freehand Chicago (February 18) and Freehand Los Angeles (February 23). From February 5 through February 25, every carpet will be available through an online silent auction to benefit LGBTQ Rights, Civil Liberties and the Fight Against Climate Change.
The online auction will be open from February 5 – 25, 2026, accessible to bidders worldwide. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the organizations leading these critical efforts; individual donations are also encouraged.
