THE RUG COMPANY

Craftsmanship Meets Contemporary Design

At The Rug Company, true luxury is defined by authenticity, integrity, and exceptional craftsmanship. Since 1997, the brand has balanced tradition with innovation—honouring centuries-old rug-making techniques while embracing cutting-edge design.

Each rug is handmade by master artisans using time-honoured methods and the finest natural materials, such as hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk. The result is more than a floor covering — it's a work of art designed to last for generations.

The Rug Company collaborates with some of the world’s most celebrated creatives — including Kelly Wearstler, Paul Smith, and Dale Chihuly — to create rugs that push the boundaries of contemporary design. Alongside these designer pieces, the brand also offers its own in-house collections, led by a dedicated team of studio designers and united by a signature design voice: original, detailed, and distinctive.

A Commitment to Ethics and Impact

Beyond aesthetics, The Rug Company is grounded in a strong sense of responsibility. As a GoodWeave-certified and Butterfly Mark-accredited company, it champions ethical production, environmental sustainability, and social impact.

By supporting artisan communities in Nepal and India, the brand ensures fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to healthcare, helping preserve and empower the rich traditions of hand-knotting for future generations.
