How we became a custom rug business

At Karnor, we have been producing high quality Tibetan rugs since 1991. This year marks our 30th year in operation, and we are proud to be able to consistently deliver top quality custom rugs woven in Kathmandu, now also offering Flatweave, Persian, and Moroccan rugs.

In the beginning, as with most Tibetan rug facilities in Nepal, we produced stock rugs to meet the high demand present worldwide after the carpet boom. As this plateaued and the rug market became more competitive, we ventured around the world to find new clientele and to enhance our production and services. This led to us start and later specializing in producing high quality custom rugs. We are proud today to serve clientele around the world, ranging from renowned interior companies and designers to artists and experimental textile specialists.

What makes Karnor special is our skilled workmanship from the weavers to the designers. In the close to 30 years with the business, our skilled team has honed their skills in meeting and exceeding client’s expectations, while keeping the focus on their vision. From 60 knots to 200 knot rugs, our weaving facility has produced masterpieces, and today we are proud to be able to say yes to some of the most complex projects.

Ultimately, we produce top-notch rugs, and not photos. While we can attempt any image or design, we urge our clients to keep their focus on the beauty of the rug and its own features as a priority. After all, the beauty of a rug is not just in its look, but the feeling it brings to a decor, and to your feet as you walk upon it.
