Produced in Nepal from superior quality wool and silk, Matt Camron’s modern and Tibetan rugs are notoriously easy to live in and offer amazing opportunities for creative customization.
Informed by the country’s high elevation and proximity to the snow-capped Himalayas, Tibetan weaving culture is among the world’s most isolated and unique. Traditionally Tibetan weavers used highland sheep wool and distinct knotting methods to create carpets known for their inimitable artistic value.
Tibetan rugs are typically soft and luxurious and can be woven with a low knot-count for a highly textural look and feel, or with a high knot-count for a dressier, more refined presentation. Tibetan rugs were the first rugs to be considered contemporary—their designs trend toward uncluttered with fewer colors and borders.
