Distressed Rugs

The Modern Distressed Rugs are Steeped in Tradition but Designed for Modern Interiors

The people of Afghanistan have been weaving beautiful rugs for thousands of years. They were first developed for utilitarian purposes, such as to serve as a floor covering, bedding, or covering for tents. They were made to be used as a part of daily life. The functional origins of these beautiful pieces mean that they learned to weave rugs that are durable and that will often outlast the owner.

Distressed Rugs

The rugs of Afghanistan were passed down from generation to generation, as were the techniques for weaving them. The Afghan rugs were involved in every part of tribal life, and each tribe had unique symbols and patterns that distinguished them. Just because they were functional did not stop them from creating some of the most unique and beautiful rugs in the world. This same attention to quality and durability goes into each of the rugs in this fresh and contemporary collection. Each of the rug knots is carefully tied by skilled hands.

Woven Art Tradition and a Story of Survival

Throughout history, the rug weavers have included the stories and traditions of their people in the pieces they create. The story of Afghani rugs is the history of the people themselves. During times of war and times of peace, the weavers represented a piece of themselves and their community in every rug.

The ability of the weavers to adapt to changing climates and changing times, including the commercialization of the carpet industry is a testimony to their resilience and strength as a people. It can take up to a year and a half to create a fine rug. That is what makes each of the area rugs in this collection special. Each one is a labor of love and the culmination of generations of weaving traditions that have been handed down through the ages.

Each Modern Distressed Ru Is a Piece of Art

Afghani rugs are as much a folk art tradition in today’s world as they were in the past. Each rug is a piece of self-expression. Every rug in this collection is the work of an artist who is dedicated to their craft. This collection has a modern, earthy quality that represents the past, present, and future of the Afghani people. They tell the story of optimism and hope woven into every thread.

Pieces that reflect a folk art tradition are an important part of modern interior design. Many styles, such as Scandinavian and other Nordic styles, favor pieces that have an earthy, primitive look. This concept is also the foundation of Japanese Wabi-Sabi designs that attempt to mimic the patterns and colors of the natural world. Both of these traditions embrace organic designs that mimic those found in the natural world.
