Co-founders of multidisciplinary weaving and sculpture studio Dougall Paulson, Sean Dougall and Andrew Paulson use beauty as the thread that binds ideas together. Based in Black Mountain, North Carolina, with its rich history of fine craft and artisanship, Dougall Paulson approach their practice to seek brand-new expressions of form, materiality, and light.

Their handwoven art textiles, which consist of wefts of silver-plated, enameled jewelry wire woven over warps of richly hand-dyed and natural silks, have been specified for high-end commercial, hospitality, and residential projects on five continents, including Chanel boutiques,The Ritz-Carlton, and Raffles. Completely customizable, each project begins as a conversation in color, structure, composition, and effect, ensuring that no two projects are ever the same. Coupled with a sculpture practice employing cast bronze and one-of-a-kind expressions of ceramic and glass, Dougall Paulson’s unique take on site-specific installations is the starting point for the creation of objects that straddle the fine and decorative arts.
