FORT MILL, SC – (Nov 15, 2023) – Unique Loom x HÆRFEST Coffee Co is collaborating on a new collection of exquisite rugs that pairs artists with abilities.
Adeleh Nassri, Business Development for Unique Loom commented, “Collaborating with Toby and the HÆRFEST artists has been an incredible experience for Unique Loom. We are honored to offer new abstract rugs that are beautifully designed rugs by eight talented artists.”
HÆRFEST (pronounced “harvest” from an Old English variant) is a coffee outreach company that utilizes the HÆRFEST of coffee to impact lives and create positive change.
Unique Loom x HÆRFEST Collection first debuted at Fall High Point Market and is inspired by eight talented artists, who are also part of HÆRFEST Coffee Co, which is a complete sensory experience. Each rug design starts with original artwork that was created in an abstract style using paint on canvas before it is translated into a stunning abstract machine-woven rug.
The rug design collaboration is a first for both brands and yields eleven powerful and exquisitely colorful designs that are available in a variety of sizes. The talented artists from this new collaboration also create HÆRFEST company’s coffee packaging, as well as roast and pack the coffee at their Davidson, North Carolina facility.
Haerfest Coffee Company’s Toby Foreman commented, “Working with the team at Unique Loom has been such a life changing experience for our company and for each of our artists. Everyone is absolutely thrilled with the way the collection has turned out and how their paintings have been reimagined into gorgeous rug designs.”

About HÆRFEST COFFEE was first inspired in 1998 by Founder Toby Foreman’s brother, Ethan. Ethan, who had an intellectual disability, worked alongside Toby for 8 years while at Diedrich Coffee in Irvine, CA. During this time of watching his brother thrive and grow in confidence and sense of value, in earnest Toby felt a conviction to intentionally create a coffee roasting company to employ those who are often overlooked in the workforce. Eight years later that sense of conviction took on another level of purpose and inspiration when Toby and his wife Cheri, welcomed their second child, Reid, into the world. In the delivery room, the doctors shared, “Your son is showing signs of Down Syndrome”. Through tears and resolve they promised each other to move forward on HÆRFEST COFFEE because “Reid and his friends will need jobs someday”. Since its inception 20 years ago, and then with Reid’s birth, HÆRFEST has evolved into what it is today with every aspect of the company intentionally created to provide a job for those with disabilities; everything from the artwork on the bags being commissioned by individuals with a disability, to roasting, to grinding, to packaging, delivery, as well as home-based microbusinesses for those unable to work outside of the home.
