Tufenkian’s Extremely Handmade Process
With Tufenkian's dedication to exceptional craftsmanship, every rug is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional hand-knotting and hand-weaving techniques. It's a labor of love for the artisans who commit their lives to preserving these traditional techniques, using only premium materials such as Tibetan wool, silk, bamboo silk, linen, hemp, and mohair.
Using Premium Materials
Our dedication to elevating comfort, style, and luxury is exemplified through our exclusive use of premium materials such as handspun Tibetan wool and natural silk. Crafted by hand with careful attention to detail, each Tufenkian rug is a masterpiece that exudes sophistication and elegance.
Tibetan Wool: Practicality and Durability
Tufenkian infuses practicality with opulence by using the finest wool, in varying percentages from 100 percent wool to luxurious wool blends. Our rugs made in Nepal use wool sourced from Tibetan sheep, and this wool is unscoured, meaning it retains its natural lanolin—a waxy substance that not only imparts a luxurious softness but also provides inherent stain resistance and durability. Just as rain effortlessly rolls off a sheep's coat, our unscoured wool ensures that spills and stains are repelled, preserving the beauty of your rug for years to come.
Moreover, wool's inherent resilience makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring that your Tufenkian rug withstands the rigors of daily use without compromising on style or quality.
Premium Handspun Silk: Mesmerizing Opulence
Step onto a Tufenkian rug crafted with premium handspun silk, and you'll immediately experience the feeling of unparalleled luxury. Renowned for its sumptuous feel and lustrous sheen, silk adds a touch of indulgence to every step.
We offer a wide range of rugs crafted of silk and silk blends, from 100 percent silk to just a touch of silk used to accent design elements. If you prefer the sheen and luxe finish of silk, but the durability of wool, shop our range of rugs crafted with a luxurious blend of wool and silk.
Creating Works of Art
Handmade rugs are more than mere furnishings—they are exquisite expressions of artistry and creativity. At Tufenkian, we hold a deep reverence for these artistic elements, guiding our design philosophy toward the creation of rugs that transcend functionality to become true works of art.
Artistic Fusion
Our approach to rug design is defined by a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation. We believe in honoring time-tested craftsmanship while embracing contemporary aesthetics. Our rugs effortlessly blend traditional motifs with modern design choices, resulting in pieces that are both timeless and refreshingly current.
Diverse Range
Every space has its own story, and every individual has their own distinct style. That's why we offer a diverse range of rugs, spanning from classic patterns to bold, innovative designs. Whether you're drawn to the intricate beauty of traditional patterns or the striking allure of contemporary styles, Tufenkian has something to suit every taste and interior aesthetic.
Maintaining Timeless Beauty
Indulging in a handmade rug is an investment in luxury and artistry that should last for generations. To ensure that your Tufenkian rug retains its beauty and integrity, proper maintenance is essential. Follow our recommended maintenance practices to preserve the timeless allure of your luxury, hand-knotted rug.
Regular Vacuuming
The foundation of rug maintenance begins with regular vacuuming using a brushless suction head. This gentle approach helps remove surface dirt and debris without damaging the delicate fibers of the rug. When vacuuming, always follow the direction of the rug's pile to prevent pulling or fraying of the fibers. Aim to vacuum high-traffic areas at least once a week and less frequently used areas every 1-2 weeks to prevent dirt buildup and maintain the rug's pristine appearance.
Professional Cleaning
While regular vacuuming is essential, you’ll want to also invest in occasional professional cleaning by a reputable rug cleaner. Schedule professional cleaning every 1-2 years, depending on the rug's condition and usage. If you're unsure of where to find reputable rug cleaning services, don't hesitate to reach out to our rug experts for recommendations tailored to your location.
Avoid DIY steam cleaning or the use of harsh chemicals, as these methods can potentially damage the rug. Entrusting your luxury area rug to professionals ensures that it receives the care and attention it deserves, safeguarding its longevity and beauty.
Periodic Rotation
To mitigate uneven wear and tear, particularly in high-traffic areas, it's essential to rotate your rug regularly. By rotating the rug 180 degrees every 6-12 months, you distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure evenly across the entire surface, preventing premature fading and preserving the rug's appearance and integrity over time.
