Let's Celebrate the Art of Hand-Knotted Rugs
Join us for an enchanting evening for the unveiling of the finalists of our Tibetan rug art competition, "Woven Dream."
Enjoy musical performances by talented Tibetan artists and singers, and savor authentic Himalayan cuisine crafted by Chef Dawa.
The competition received remarkable entries from Tibetan artists around the world. Selecting the finalists was a challenge. Our decisions were based on originality, composition, expression, and the successful transformation of the art into rug form.
All eight finalist designs will be showcased at the event, where we will announce the three winners.
The finalist are now part of our
HERITAGE Collection
Modern & Timeless Designs that Focus on Innovation and Craftsmanship.
Tibetan hand-knotted rugs are a key aspect of Tibetan heritage, displaying centuries of cultural and artistic traditions. Crafted with care, these rugs use techniques handed down through generations, often featuring symbolic motifs and patterns that hold significant meaning.
Continuing this tradition, we present the Heritage Collection, a new line of contemporary rugs that blends traditional motifs and modern influences, celebrating Tibetan artistry and cultural heritage. Designed by talented contemporary artists, this collection reinterprets classic motifs and patterns with a fresh perspective, while still honoring the craftsmanship and cultural significance of each piece. Hand-knotted by skilled artisans, the rugs in the Heritage Collection reflect a thoughtful fusion of past and present, celebrating the ongoing evolution of Tibetan rug-making and the incredible work of its designers.
Our Heritage collection offers a unique connection to the enduring legacy of Tibetan culture.
