Contemporary rugs, designed in Switzerland and hand-knotted in Nepal.

Studio 5 ‘s collection is entitled «Unique» and reflects the unpredictability of colour, turning each piece into a one-of-a-kind result, mixing various materials as found in the leftovers of manufactories, mainly Tibetan wool or Chinese silk, linen and nettle.
Studio 5’s core values are craftsmanship, sustainability and fairtrade: their partner manufactories were founded by Tibetan families, who brought their ancestral rug traditions to Kathmandu and recreated them with great care and love for material and craftsmanship. Each rug becomes an emotional story, which Studio 5 shares with the end client.
No new virgin raw materials are employed to create Studios 5’s carpets: only yarn leftovers of previous productions, mainly Tibetan wool, Chinese silk, linen or nettle, are given a new chance. To enrich the yarns with vivid colours, Studio 5 uses either natural dyes, made from plants or minerals, or certified Swiss-made dyes.  Studio 5 is a proud member of Label Step, a Swiss fairtrade organisation which ensures compliance with working and social standards. Each carpet commissioned creates several months of fair work and ethical pay.
