How Novogratz by Momeni Creates their Rugs

Depending upon which type of Momeni Novogratz rug suits your style, each has a unique manufacturing process: hand-woven, hand tufted, or machine made construction, depending on which material the rug is made of. Each process, while different, goes to show the care and craftsmanship that goes into each Momeni Novogratz rug.

Hand-Woven

These rugs are assembled from skilled artisans gifted in the realm of hand-weaving. This takes a special type of loom, and each design you see on the rug has been hand crafted from individual fibers that are wrapped around a special rod during the weaving process. This creates a unique design within each and every rug, ensuring that you receive a true piece of Novogratz style art for your home.

Hand-Tufted

Hand tufted rugs are made using a similar technique as hand-woven, however a special pistol-shaped tool is used to punch wool through a canvas, which is then finished with a cloth backing. This allows for piles of different heights to be established onto a rug, while still ensuring that the craft is done by hand.

Machine Made

Power loom construction is used in the Novogratz machine made rugs, allowing for more intricate designs to be created. Each machine can be individually adjusted to create different sizes, densities, colors, and pile heights. The collections of machine made rugs by Momeni are incredibly durable and still have that unparalleled Novogratz design.
