Grace & Ward is a Netherlands-based artist duo composed of Sjoerd Alderliesten and Anika Alderliesten-Joosen, whose practice centers on transforming texture, color, and form into contemporary tactile artworks. Working primarily with handtufted rugs, their process begins with a sketch, memory, or intuitive idea that evolves into layered compositions rich in depth and relief.

Each piece is uniquely made-to-measure, reflecting a meticulous balance between craftsmanship and artistic expression. Their works extend beyond objecthood, becoming immersive experiences that bring warmth, softness, and acoustic presence into a space. Bold in scale yet inviting in character, Grace & Ward’s compositions encourage stillness and sensory engagement, redefining the relationship between art, design, and interior environments.
