About
At Wool & Silk, we strive to create beautiful, colorful and alluring designs. We offer a broad range of hand knotted rugs combining creative ideas and design experience that inspire the imagination. Founded in 2010 by artist Erbil Tezcan, Wool & Silk started out very humbly in New Jersey, USA. Since then the company has enjoyed phenomenal growth and success and is the proud recipient of nine international Carpet Design Awards and a German Design Award, while maintaining it’s intimate nature of a boutique-style family business.
With influences from Asian tapestries to modern artwork and the artist’s natural landscape photography, there is nothing conventional about our designs. We are constantly evolving and moving in new directions. We cater to custom needs including wall to wall applications. The majority of our collections are manufactured in Nepal; however, our repertoire includes an Afghan Collection which is manufactured in Afghanistan. While most of our rugs manufactured in Nepal are contemporary in nature, our Afghan Collection is a tribute to traditional designs.
The heart of Wool & Silk comes from the passion and commitment of its founder, Erbil Tezcan. His love of design and color in combination with his knowledge of the hand knotted rug industry translates into rugs as a refined art. A glimpse of life or a flash of light and his eye is envisioning a rug. Erbil’s reflection of the creative process is captured in his remark that his designs “have to be colorful, like our lives.”
