KDHamptons Design Feature: The Rug Company
A beautiful rug to tie a room together is essential and important. Founded in 1997, The Rug Company has been traveling far and wide to discover rare and exceptional pieces. Each rug takes four months to craft, lasting generations due to the use of time-honored techniques employed by artisans for hundreds of years. The Rug Company encourages customers to explore their own creativity and commission a unique piece that is perfectly tailored to their personal style. The Rug Company recently collaborated with designers Adam Hunter, Andrew Winch, David Rockwell, Kelly Wearstler, Luke Edward Hall and Martyn Lawrence Bullard to make new collections dropping this summer/fall.
