TEMPLE rugs are luxurious and unexpected. The designs start from the smallest artistic gesture – a graphic glitch, a smudge on glass, the edge of a sculpture – then transformed into a new design language expressed beautifully in stunning rugs. They are heavily textured, richly colored and deeply emotive landscapes for living.

TEMPLE rugs activate a space. They command attention because they elicit emotions. They are alive and have energy. The natural materials are so luxurious and the color choices are inspired. The textural quality of the pile heights, carving and shapes are central to the aesthetic approach and the experience of living with the rugs. They are made for bare feet.

Founder and designer ERIC HILDEBRANDT has had a personal design and fine arts practice for the past three decades, and for a few years published an underground arts and culture magazine. For the last 15 years, he was an executive in contemporary and luxury furnishings, working first-hand with some of the best furnishing brands in the world. TEMPLE was founded in 2023.

Each rug is custom-made: hand-knotted using the highest-quality, 100% natural materials, such as Tibetan wool, pure silk, cashmere and alpaca. The quality is crafted by centuries of knowledge and skilled hands. Designed in California, made in Nepal. All rugs are ethically produced and GoodWeave certified.
