The Craft
Drawn as Art.
Made by Hand.
Every Common Grounds rug moves through many hands.
From the first composition to the final surface, each stage gives the design its depth.
Bhadohi
Our rugs are made by hand in Bhadohi — a place shaped by generations of rug making knowledge.
Colour Becomes Material
Every colour is translated into wool.
Tone, texture and pile work together, turning a flat composition into a living surface.
The Beauty of the Hand
Small variations belong to the process.
They give every rug its rhythm, character and individual presence.
Made Slowly
A Common Grounds rug takes time.
Time to dye. Time to knot. Time to finish.
Time creates the object.
