The designs have a distinctivly modern and contemporary look. A combination of bold designs with vivid, yet often subtle color combinations, creates a multitude of possibilities.

Each rug is an individual work-of-art that will add design, color and texture to your home or office. The making of hand-knotted rugs is a labor-intensive activity with a long history and Nepal has an abundance of craftsmen and women who are highly skilled in this traditional art.
