Tufting: the artisanal art that is revolutionizing interior design
How a century-old technique is becoming the latest decorating trend
What is tufting?
Tufting, pronounced "taf-ting," is a traditional rug-making technique that involves creating loops or cuts of wool on a stretched canvas. Originating in Scandinavian countries and popularized in the United States, this method allows for the creation of truly unique rugs with intricate patterns and varied textures.
Unlike industrial rugs, each tufted piece is a unique work of art. The artisan manually pushes the wool through the fabric, creating reliefs, patterns, and textures impossible to achieve through traditional methods.
