tai ping hand-knotted
Echoing an ancient Eastern philosophy centred not merely on the sustained application of the mind on an object, but also the subtle discernment achieved only through such concentrated attention, Tai Ping hand-knotted rugs marry conscientious attention to detail with authentic, handcrafted artistry. Just as a wine is inextricably defined by its terroir, each Tai Ping hand-knotted rug is singularly imbued with the energy of the Himalayan valleys in which its origins are rooted. The composition of each fibre is borne of animals that graze upon the unique flora of that area to produce wool textures unlike any other in the world. Each knot expresses the experience that lives in the fingers of its artisans, whose techniques have been refined and passed down for generations. Each Tai Ping hand-knotted rug echoes the song of the place and the hands that created it. Even as it journeys from the remote villages of Nepal, across the world to meet the demands of the most cosmopolitan designers, architects and textile connoisseurs, the Tai Ping hand-knotted rug, a one-of-a-kind creation that no machine can replicate, carries with it the spirit of its native land. It is a spirit balanced between timelessness and modernity; between hauteur and humility. In each of its colours, forms, patterns and textures, the Tai Ping hand-knotted rug is designed for beauty, but crafted for transcendence. It is a singular piece of art that exists not merely to decorate, but to resonate.

The Foundry mini-collection is an exploration of six handknotted border designs inspired by the process of casting metals. Organic, malleable forms that mimic the melting of materials garnish the edges of each piece. These borders are meant to serve as thoughtful treatments to vast fields of solid carpet and effortlessly complement many décors. The collection utilizes constructions in 80 and 100 knots, mainly in wool with accents of silk and linen fibers. The color palette is also associated with the rich tones found in the foundry processes of burnishing, torching and alloying metals such as bronze, copper, gold, and platinum.
