Tribal Collection by Decorative Carpets and Tim Campbell

For the launch of their new Tribal Collection, Decorative Carpets asked Los Angeles-based architect and designer, Tim Campbell, to stage a window display using their new rugs. Here's a peek at his design, inspired by a trip to Africa.

Decorative Carpets are a privately held, family-owned business dedicated to the proud tradition of their craft. For over 50 years, Decorative Carpets has been a leading source of hand-tufted custom rugs, broadloom, and specialty flooring for the interior design, contract, and hospitality markets. Their products beautify floors around the world, from hotel lobbies and suites to the finest residential interiors. 

What is hand tufting?
Hand tufting is an art that requires a high level of skill. To create a hand-tufted rug, the design is first transferred to a primary backing. The craftsmen use the design as a guide to handgun the location of each colored tuft. A secondary backing is added to glue the tufts in place before the top loops are sheared to create the final pile height.

What's so different about it?
Hand tufting offers the ability to make carpets and rugs in any shape, size, and design. Large pieces can be made without seams and an infinite variety of textures and colors can be added to create a truly unique piece of art for the floor.




Am just amazed with the beautiful patterns, so simple - so colorful!
