Jaipur Rugs, Inc. is a premier rug manufacturing and
distribution company with its base of operations in Atlanta,
GA. The Jaipur mindset allows an eccentric and bountiful mix
of talent, wisdom, and intellect to find its unique voice in
the rug world, building on its strengths with an adept use
of sophisticated color, cunning design, and modern
production methodology. The results can be found in a
diverse range of strikingly beautiful, thoughtfully produced
rugs in hand-knotted, hand-tufted, flat-woven and
indoor-outdoor formats. Jaipur has mastered the craft of rug
making through a vertically integrated system, enabling a
rapid development process and a custom program unmatched in
the industry. Environmentally sound techniques and the use
of materials such as hemp and jute are at the forefront of
the company’s latest product endeavors. Social awareness
also takes center stage with a revolutionary program
empowering weavers to remain in their own small villages in
India rather than being forced to move to cramped urban
centers in order to seek out a living. At Jaipur, the hands
and heart strike an artful balance with skilled
craftsmanship and intelligent design.
