The Eden Rug Collection began as an inward inquiry. It emerged during a time when we were meditating on our own origins and marked our first passage into textiles, an ancient craft deeply entwined with the natural world. Exploring Eden created a kind of portal through which we could research flora, fauna, and the enduring symbols that have offered meaning and protection across time.
In this way, the Eden Rug Collection is both personal and archetypal—rooted in our own studio history and reaching back into the shared lineage of craft.

Silk, once carried along ancient trade routes and prized for its luminous strength, has long symbolized refinement and mystery. Its journey begins in the hush of a delicately spun silkworm cocoon, before being transformed by human hands into something radiant. Wool and cashmere, by contrast, speak to a history of earthbound tending—of shepherding, stewardship, and the deep rhythms of pastoral life. Together, these fibers are more than materials; they are inheritances, shaped by centuries of labor, care, and tradition.
Woven from cashmere, silk, and wool, our Eden Rug Collection is a gesture toward the sacred shapes found in nature, and the stories embedded within them. Whether adorned with the eye motif or left in contemplative simplicity, each rug is created by hand in an age old tradition that we see as a kind of soft monument to storied materials intimately tied to the land.

Our Ethos: Materials are sacred. The act of creation carries responsibility. Beauty has value and is rooted beneath the surface, in the choices, hands, and histories that shape an object.
