Ward + Gray

With a shared love for antique lighting and French rattan, Christie Ward and Staver Gray founded Ward + Gray not to chase trends, but to tell stories. Their work unfolds like a well-written novel—rich with character, anchored in place, and full of quiet revelations. Based in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood and working across the globe, the duo designs layered interiors that feel lived-in and literary. Their philosophy? Elegance is not about gloss, but rather depth. And every project begins with a question: What does this space want to say? At Ten Easy Street, that narrative comes to life through a curated collection of their rugs—each one a quiet study in form, texture, and tone.

Ground Control

Why: Because the right rug doesn’t just finish a room—it defines it. Ward + Gray’s rug collection reflects their commitment to design that is rich in feeling and rooted in place. Inspired by the worn beauty of antique textiles and the tactile poetry of natural fibers, their rugs evoke memory and movement. Each piece is designed with the same care and consideration they bring to interiors—intended to be lived on, admired, and passed down.

What: A selection of Ward + Gray’s artful rugs is on view at Ten Easy Street, showcasing their signature blend of timeless materials and soulful palettes. Looped, woven, and knotted by hand, these rugs feel equal parts utilitarian and heirloom. With their painterly neutrals, organic shapes, and subtle dimensionality, they ground the space without overwhelming it—proof that restraint, when done well, can be deeply expressive.

Where: Ward + Gray’s rugs hold court int the Great Room and welcome in the Garden Foyer, anchoring two of the home’s most inviting spaces. They offer warmth underfoot, cohesion across rooms, and a design language that speaks fluently in softness and strength.
