TEMPLE was founded in San Francisco in 2023 by artist and designer Eric Hildebrandt, whose decades-long path weaves together fine art and leadership in luxury design.
TEMPLE is deeply rooted in the California urban and rural landscapes and topographies. Design inspiration is often drawn directly from the rivers, redwoods and coastlines of Northern California – and always translated in the finest natural materials such as pure silk, wool, alpaca and cashmere. The resulting rugs are crafted to last generations and aspire to be a small part of the rich and inspiring legacy of distinctly Californian design.
Whether born from a drawing or a photograph, a meditation or a graphic distillation, each rug is crafted to provoke engagement. Its beauty should not just be seen—but felt. Emotions arise from the unexpected harmony of form and color. Deep textures and rich materials compel touch, inviting a tactile connection that is as profound as the visual one.
