A single 9-by-12-foot carpet can contain up to 1.5 million individually tied knots and require more than 1,500 hours of artisanal labor. The company works with natural fibers such as Tibetan wool and silk, offers custom designs and sizes, and supports the Tufenkian Foundation’s initiatives in Armenia through a portion of rug sales.
