THE FOUNDERS
The company has its roots in the free spirit and excitement of its founders, an adventurous couple of accomplished Turkish born entrepreneurs, who follow through on their own. Little did they know that their decision to take this chance would lead them down a path of unexpected transformations.
Sigal Sasson, the Co-founder and Creative Director of RUG ART, is a self-taught multi-faceted artist/designer and the artist mastermind behind the company’s most sought-after rugs. Born into a very creative family, her vision and passion for design are heavily influenced by her childhood years, particularly by witnessing her father meticulously crafting women’s footwear. This early exposure served as a foundation for her design language and perspective. The attention to detail and artistry of her father’s work informed her own aesthetic and approach to design. As a result, she has developed a unique vision that embodies elements of tradition and innovation in equal measure.
Vidal Sasson, the Co-founder of RUG ART, is a self-made businessman. As a child, he looked up to his father, who was a successful business owner. This inspired him to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an entrepreneur himself. Hard work and dedication are the core values of his commitment and perseverance and with these qualities Vidal transformed Rug Art NYC into a globally recognized luxury brand, known for its exceptional custom rugs.
With focus on design and craftsmanship every rug tells a story from inspiration and drawings, turning original artwork into hand-knotted rugs, to production and installation. Craftsmanship, refined texture and raw materials – each rug that comes to life is truly beautiful and original. A remarkable work of art that embodies design brilliance combined with over 900 years of ancient craft.
Our attention to detail ensures that every rug will always be crafted of the highest quality. This knowledge is infused in the heart of every step of the company’s creative process. We also know the importance of providing excellent service and our staff is well-versed in the rug world. They will go the extra mile to guide you through the customizing process from start to finish.
Since their humble beginning the founders have grown the company into an acclaimed award-winning luxury brand. “The best thing about being an artist and doing things instinctively is the adventurous journey that allows me to see the world through my experimentation, risks and mistakes.” Sigal Sasson, co-founder.
Rug Art NYC is globally recognized as a leader in custom-made rugs and carpets for residential and commercial applications.
