What We Create
Drawing upon more than fifty years of experience and the knowledge preserved within our archives, we create rugs that bring the culture and tradition of carpet weaving into contemporary living. By combining time-honoured techniques with today's possibilities, natural materials and entirely hand-crafted methods give each rug its unique character.
Our primary material is the finest hand-spun wool, selected for its durability and beauty, sourced from the steppes and highlands of Anatolia and Asia. Staying true to traditional craftsmanship, Ararat Rugs produces oriental, modern, and custom-designed rugs that unite historical inspiration with contemporary needs, preserving the colours, materials, and design heritage of the past for future generations.

The meeting of human labor with what nature offers us turns into art. The materials used in our carpets are carefully selected from various geographies, and the magnificent oriental rugs from the past to the present come to life on woven looms.
We bring you the history of oriental carpets, the stories behind them, and the unique differences or common points between them, which fascinate us all.
We are happy to present our hospitality, which our culture has taught us and experienced from generation to generation, accompanied by magnificent works of art. We place you in the center of the past and the future.

We know that oriental carpets have patterns and colors suitable for their geography, culture, and lifestyle. Over time, the inevitable changes in the carpet culture led to the emergence of new and modern carpets, consisting of combinations of oriental carpets, adding richer and different designs to our lives.
On this journey, we have not made any concessions on our planet, people, and culture. By improving old techniques, we designed modern carpets without harming the environment and using completely natural materials. In addition to the traces of the past, we produced durable carpets that are completely minimal or contain the lines of our age but adhere to the old weaving techniques, in line with your needs and demands.

Until the 21st century, neither stores nor e-commerce sales channels offered product customization to their customers in any industry. Advances in software and design have made this easier and more feasible than ever before. Now, end users can customize product color, design, functions, and add-on features directly.
Ararat Studios immortalizes any of your imaginable designs by turning them into products in a unique way, using the oldest weaving techniques and methods. For example, we turn your child's first painting into a carpet in any size you want. We also work for you on motifs or patterns that introduce your company, are essential to your customers, and that you like them to see.

Weaving a completely natural and valuable rug is both laborious and important. Next to the looms, you must have a team that knows the art of weaving. Ararat Rugs can weave the largest one-piece rug ever. We certainly do not assemble the pieces; we weave oversized rug orders on our one-piece weaving looms.
Our weaving looms, where we produce any oriental, modern, or customized rug you want with completely natural methods, simultaneously host one to six employees.

We know that the rugs we own are precious to us, regardless of their age. There are some rugs whose age is expressed in hundreds of years. One way or another, each of them has different meanings for us.
We do the restoration and repair of antiques and valuable rugs. Our expert teams analyze the materials and colors used in our laboratories, and the process starts by drawing up the lists of needs. As a result, your rug will be delivered to you again as if it has never been damaged or restored.
We are aware that this is a very delicate and difficult process. Our experience and capabilities of more than forty years show that we have achieved highly satisfying results for our customers.

We protect the environment and people and use the blessings of nature to have these magnificent colors that you see in our completely hand-woven rugs. All these eye-catching colors were obtained from nature without using any chemicals and gave color to the wool.
We answer your questions about the colors we use in our rugs and meet your demands. These colors come completely from nature — and they are also very durable and long-lasting.

Respecting our planet and people is our most important duty. The yarns we use are entirely obtained from live sheep only. The obtained wools wait to be dyed as spun after undergoing a series of processes by human hands. We also have rugs produced with entirely natural thread colors without being dyed.
We also meet your yarn needs, whether dyed or ready to be dyed. Our teams are happy to answer your questions for more detailed information.

One of the areas where our unique and special oriental carpets are exhibited or preferred is large organizations, fairs, invitations, and the cinema sector. Our oriental carpets, suitable for the theme, immortalize the places in the annual important invitations given by the embassies or in the production of a movie.
