Street graphics meet Nepalese textile traditions

An unlikely pairing creates some very nice results in Rugged Art's collection of hand knotted carpets designed by young graphic artists such as Romon Kimin Yang and José Parla. Not to mention the fact that the prices (while not cheap) seem to us to be very reasonable for this kind quality.

Founded by London based antique textile specialist Nat Turner, and collaborating with some of World's most exciting graphic artists, RuggedArt has launched a groundbreaking new collection of hand knotted rugs, available in limited editions of ten.
Instead of Ephemeral art on a wall, or hollow conceptual statement, RuggedArt rugs are a painting for your floor, a strikingly beautiful piece of furniture.

Prices range from $22.50 to $50.00 per sq. ft.

The rugs are made entirely by hand, using traditional skills in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. Knotted in hand-spun Tibetan wool, using the finest Swiss dyes, they are crafted to last a lifetime.

Fantastic Rugs

These rugs are absolutely out of this world. I have never seen rug designs like this... If the quality is as good as they say, and they are truly HAND-MADE, then the price is lower than anyone else selling rugs of this quality!
