In May 2025 Woodard Weave was acquired by longtime client David Netto, interior designer and passionate fan of the brand. David had become aware of Tom Woodard’s desire to retire and his intention to close down the company and decided it was worth an email to see if an alternative future could be devised. He wrote to Tom that “part of this is self-preservation, because I cannot do without these rugs in my projects–but also in the larger culture of design I am generally against great resources and vendors being allowed to go away. These rugs should not be allowed to leave the world.” A few months later Tom got to retire, David got the company he couldn’t do without, and plans to continue were implemented immediately to grow the business and maintain availability of ALL designs, while changing as little as possible about the quality, strong point of view, and clear-as-a-bell aesthetic message of what David has described as a “BIG little American brand.”
