Modern Hereke Oriental Rugs Made from Animal‑Free Art Silk
Art Hereke rugs combine the best of traditional Oriental artistry and contemporary comfort: crafted exclusively from premium art silk that mirrors the famous silk sheen and brilliant colour play of historical Hereke masterpieces—yet in an animal‑free, easy‑care and attractively priced form. The result: unique rugs that reinterpret time‑honoured motifs for elegant, bright and sophisticated interiors.
Manufacturing Process – 100% Hand‑Knotted Hereke Aesthetics, Reimagined
Each rug is crafted entirely by hand in select Chinese ateliers, where experienced weavers use traditional knotting methods and the same meticulous standards found in classic Hereke production. The result is unmistakable one-of-a-kind pieces that stand out through precision, clarity and an exceptionally refined presence—worlds apart from mass‑produced goods.

1.) Material Selection & Dyeing
Finely spun artificial silk is used for every rug, dyed in carefully coordinated colour palettes—from soft pastels to radiant accent tones.
2.) Design Cartoons, Knotting Technique & Execution
The motifs follow original Hereke design principles: medallion, allover and field patterns are knotted row by row at high knot density by master artisans. Each knot is set by hand—ensuring precision, brilliant clarity and a surface that subtly shifts in the light.
3.) Finishing & Quality Control
Once knotted, each rug is carefully washed by hand multiple times, dried in the sun and refined with a precise contour cut. Edges and fringes are expertly finished. Only after meeting all quality criteria does a finished Art Hereke piece leave the atelier.

- Ideal as a premium highlight in dining rooms, hallways or home offices.
- Pair with modern, bright furniture, marble, velvet or metal accents for a glamorous yet relaxed aesthetic.

Use Art Hereke rugs as intentional contrasts to neutral walls and understated furniture, or echo subtle colours from the rug in curtains and accessories. In large interiors, generously sized rugs stylishly define separate zones—while in smaller rooms, even medium formats can evoke a sense of palace-like atmosphere.
Choosing the Right Size – Art Hereke Rugs Perfectly Staged
An Art Hereke rug reveals its full impact when its dimensions complement the room. In spacious living areas or foyers, impressive sizes such as 240×170 cm, 270×180 cm or even 350×250 cm and 400×300 cm allow the design to unfold in all its splendour—showcasing the full finesse of the Hereke aesthetic.
For bedrooms, smaller salons or libraries, sizes like 120×80 cm, 150×100 cm or 180×120 cm offer the perfect balance of elegance and comfort: they frame the furniture, add refined structure and create a welcoming atmosphere.
As runners (e.g. 240×80 cm or 300×80 cm), Art Hereke rugs highlight hallways and corridors, while compact bridge sizes (90×60 cm, 120×80 cm or 150×100 cm) serve beautifully as luxurious bedside rugs or as statement wall pieces.
Expert Tip: Map your desired rug size with painter's tape or paper to preview its effect. Ensure the rug is centred and—especially in living rooms—extends beneath the front legs of your seating arrangement for a harmonious layout. Find more guidance on selecting the right rug size.
