The Andre Fu Collection blends an array of complex rug-making techniques using only the finest fibres – wool, silk, and cashmere – the collection combines pile heights, and yarn thicknesses with highly complex hand-tufting techniques to create rugs equivalent to haute couture. Rooted in a deep appreciation for Chinese artisanship, heritage, and fashion, the collection is imbued with subtle references to traditional tweed and brush-stroke motifs inspired by Chinese calligraphy. The Andre Fu Collection defines modern Asian luxury in a sophisticated line of "textiles for the floor."
