Winter 2024 Edition
With the new year upon us, we pause to reflect on the positive impacts our work has had on the homes in which our clients live, the rugs our customers choose as the foundations of their design schemes, and the memories our guests make while visiting our inn. Regardless of whether they choose Soucie Horner, SHIIR Rugs, or the Wickwood Inn to accompany them on their design-inspired journeys, we remain dedicated to a single, overarching notion: that everything we design, from projects and products to get-away experiences – be infused with our unique take on luxury living in all its forms. Join us as we review the ways we’ve recently done just that!

Excellence in Review
We rounded out 2023 with the completion of the last of 29 installations. From single family homes to commercial spaces; located seaside, mountainside, and everywhere in between; we took pride in executing every project to perfection, no matter the client vision or locale.
As we look back on a year of exciting projects, we are especially honored to be featured on Luxe Interiors + Design’s 2024 Gold List. Our multi-phase renovation of a historic 1930s North Shore home was featured on Luxe’s cover last summer.
Perfect Measure
We are thrilled to have our work showcased on the cover of Modern Luxury. The featured project is a stunning showpiece—crafted from raw space in one of Chicago’s premier high-rise buildings for a world-traveling client, it’s unabashedly masculine, architecturally classic, and truly personifies its owner.
Fostering Future Leaders
Our participation in the Design Leadership Network extends far beyond sharing our work and building relationships with our peers in the industry. It also includes charitable work through the Design Leadership Foundation, whose mission is to ensure a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the fields of architecture and design. A recent case in point: two of our team members attended a two-day Design Leadership Foundation workshop at Mississippi State, where they participated in career mentorship for over 200 future design leaders.

Last fall, our founder Shea Soucie sat down with Design News Now to discuss accessible luxury, ethical rug production, and international inspiration as it relates to the SHIIR brand. The result was a unique look into SHIIR’s ability to innovate on tradition while delivering luxury and style.
Lyric, our new collection of hand-loomed rugs, was featured in Business of Home, with a spotlight on our stunning Keelan, Remy, and Skalla designs.
