Crosby Street Studios

Mott, McFadden, and DiDonato have worked together in for over 18 years. Tony Mott, a leading expert on contemporary one-of-a-kind soft surface flooring, has spent more than 20 years collaborating with architects, designers, and specifiers to realize their visions on projects that include the White House, Getty Museum, and Seagram Building. Mott together with Jim McFadden and Nicholas DiDonato launch the first-ever to the trade showroom offering an in-house experience where artisans and clients could collaborate to create proprietary materials at A.M. Collections. The three partners further honed their business skills during tenures as executives at Tai Ping Carpets. A respected go-to authority, Jim McFadden has more than 15 years of experience in the rug industry. Today McFadden and the Crosby Street Studios team share their expertise, input, curatorial eye, and unparalleled reservoir of resources worldwide with a who’s who list of architects and designers.  Nicholas DiDonato, who takes charge of operations, finance, and a variety of other duties, is a fellow alumnus of Tai Ping and AM Collections. Like Mott and McFadden, he has more than 15 years of experience in the design industry and rug trade, having gotten his start with a four-year tenure at New York-based Carpet Innovations. A long-standing and successful team, the three work side-by-side overseeing the company’s long-term strategic goals – and its day-to-day business.

The principals of Crosby Street Studios all believe that the intersection of where artisan mastery meets artful invention and technical innovation, is the place where contemporary design evolves. Passionate about the culture-spanning traditions of handcrafted floor coverings, the firm seeks out the globe’s finest craftspeople to ply time-honored, handwork techniques—carding, spinning, color matching, dying, knotting, weaving, trimming, and washing—in service of today’s artistic visions.
