TEMPLE rugs are luxurious, emotive and unexpected. They are rich landscapes for floors and walls – with design inspirations ranging from the topography of coastal Northern California to architecture photography to avant-garde fashion designers.

Founder and designer Eric Hildebrandt has been practicing graphic and fine arts for 25 years. For the last 15 years, he has also served as a sales executive in contemporary and luxury furnishings. Temple is a new brand that synthesizes those experiences.

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.

Each of these artisanal pieces is custom-made: hand-knotted and custom-dyed using the highest-quality, 100% natural materials, including 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.

TEMPLE rugs start from the smallest artistic gesture – a graphic glitch, a smudge on glass, the edge of a sculpture – then transform into a new design language expressed beautifully in stunning rugs.
