Customization & Design Process FAQs
Can I choose the design, color, and size of my rug?
Yes! Clients can fully customize their rug’s design, color palette, dimensions, and material to match their interior style and preferences. We usually start from an existing graphic pattern and then develop a new design, but we can also start completely from scratch.
What materials are used for custom handmade rugs?
The studio offers a variety of high-quality materials, including wool, silk, bamboo silk, and natural fibers, ensuring durability and a luxurious feel. We usually recommend wool and silk, combined to give the right textures and shine.
What are the different weaving techniques available?
Custom rugs are usually hand-knotted, but in certain cases, when the budget doesn’t allow it, we opt for hand-tufted, a modern technique that has a similar look of the hand-knotted rugs but is a lot cheaper. Keep in mind that a hand-knotted rug can last 100 years or more if well cared for, a had-tufted one will eventually start shedding after a few years. Hand tufted rugs also tend to acquire value as they age, had tufted ones do not.
How does the design process work?
Consultation: Discuss style, size, color, and material preferences.
Design Development: The studio creates initial sketches and digital mockups.
Production: Skilled artisans handcraft the rug using selected materials and techniques.
Delivery: The finished rug is shipped and installed in the client’s space.
Durability & Maintenance FAQs
How long does a custom hand-knotted rug last?
With proper care, a high-quality handmade rug can last several decades or even become a family heirloom.
How do I clean and maintain my custom rug?
Regularly vacuum on a low setting to remove dust.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Rotate the rug periodically for even wear.
Use a professional rug cleaner for deep cleaning.
Are custom rugs pet-friendly and stain-resistant?
Like all natural materials, wool and silk can absorb stains and should be used with care. If the rug is designed for a heavy traffic location or a play room, we might recommend using different fibers.
Can I use a custom rug in high-traffic areas?
Yes, but denser weaves and durable materials are recommended for spaces with heavy foot traffic.
Pricing & Ordering FAQs
How much does a custom handmade rug cost?
Pricing depends on size, materials, weaving technique, and complexity. The studio provides a custom quote after the design consultation.

About Sergio Mannino, Founder
Sergio Mannino, who holds a degree in architecture from the University of Florence, has accumulated extensive experience working alongside design pioneers like Ettore Sottsass and Remo Buti. This knowledge wasn't merely stored but shared when he took on a teaching role in interior architecture at the same university for a span of three years. His career path led him to New York in 2001, and by 2002, he had already organized a solo exhibition at Milan's acclaimed Memphis-Postdesign Gallery. This display featured his array of furniture designs, including nine built pieces and a hundred watercolors, all under the supervision of Sottsass. Sergio founded his design studio in 2008 with the mission to explore all aspects of design, interpreting the precise time we live in.
