Selling High Quality Carpets And Doing Good

Are you a fan of area rugs that are handmade, employ quality materials, and have designs that can stand the test of time? Combine that with high-standard humanitarian practices among their suppliers and you have come up with TUFENKIAN ARTISAN CARPETS.

Carpet designs are based on traditional Tibetan and Armenian designs, allowing carpets to keep their beauty and vibrancy across several generations. A Tufenkian Artisan carpet is meant to last. The commitment to beauty and quality have attracted numerous designers to partner with Tufenkian.



However, what is even more notable about Tufenkian is its humanitarian practices. When James Tufenkian founded the company back in 1987, he also created the mandate by which the company lives today, to "leave the places we touch a little better than we found them." From the start, this company refused to utilize child labor, meaning that they would employ no one younger than 18 years old. Also, by employing traditional manufacturing processes, the company embarked on earth-friendly practices.

The company set up the Nepalese Worker Welfare Program and the Tufenkian Foundation, into which it has invested a million dollars each year, since they started in 1999. Through these programs, the company has provided its employees with housing, food, a medical care complex, eye and dental clinics, clean drinking water, and schooling. And they haven't left out inspiring surroundings.

Extensive gardens planted around the Tufenkian complex serve as protection from erosion during monsoon season. The company installed water purification equipment that removes the dye from the water, leaving it pristine. Heating oil is used, instead of wood, for heating dye baths, allowing preservation of forest lands. Even more, though, Tufenkian has planted trees that will provide new growth and restore areas that have become deforested.

So when you see the latest carpet design, you know that you are receiving quality and also supporting the traditional craftspeople, who labor to produce it. In fact, just recently, Tufenkian has introduced a new design line, Tradition Deconstructed. Part of this production process involves washing each piece several times, aging, weathering, and then hand shearing. This allows the handspun yarns and hand knotting to create infinite variations, giving each piece a unique look. Keep this company in mind if you're planning to add area rugs to your home or office decor.
