A rug should anchor the room, not just cover the floor.
Bold colour, contemporary design, made to last.
We Are Floor Art
“A good rug anchors the room, and provides the perfect canvas for the eye to rest upon and be enticed by the space.”
By Mae Pakdoust
#WEAREFLOORART AT OUR CORE
Weaving the tradition forward
We focus on creating beautiful, original pieces of art for the floor. With bold colours, contemporary designs and refined detailing, we believe that modern rugs are so much more than floor coverings. At Mae Artisan Rugs, the rug is reinvented as an art piece, a luxurious focal point within a room.
The diversity of materials, colours and patterns available allows endless possibilities, and bespoke rugs can effortlessly unite any interior.
Reinvent the rug as art for the floor
With a combination of old world techniques and modern manufacturing methods, we create products that are not only beautiful but also long-wearing and easy to maintain. A beautiful home should reflect the owner’s individual style and taste, so we offer a wide selection of pieces that will complement any decor.
