Tufenkian
Tufenkian is a pioneering luxury rug company renowned for redefining the Oriental rug tradition through sophisticated design, uncompromising craftsmanship, and ethical production.

Each Tufenkian rug is handwoven to embody depth, nuance, and individuality, offering interior designers distinctive textiles that elevate high-end residential and commercial spaces.
