Meet Nordic Knots

A better rug, with better design, at a better price. This is the simple goal of the family-run business, Nordic Knots. Nordic Knots was founded on the Scandinavian tradition of functional design with a minimalist aesthetic. Their rugs are inspired “by the beauty of the Nordic light, colours and landscape” to bring the Nordic aesthetic from their home to every home.

“We believe a great rug is the foundation to a beautiful room.”

— Nordic Knots

Founded and operated by the Swedish family trio Liza Laserow, Fabian Berglund, and Felix Berglund in New York City, their family joined forces in 2016 to follow their true passion for entrepreneurship, design, and their home country. They are constantly inspired by their home region of Scandinavia for their designs, from the patterns with minimalist geometric shapes to the colors drawn from the Nordic landscape.

“We use only high-quality materials that put timeless Scandinavian design in focus, as well as ethical production practices, to create great rugs that lasts — It sounds simple, but we know it’s not easy to find rugs that look right, feels right, and are made right.”

— Nordic Knots

Nordic Knots values

All of Nodic Knots rugs are designed in their Stockholm Atelier and are Goodweave™ Certified. This means all their rugs are handmade in Bhadohi, India by highly skilled and experienced weavers.

Nordic Knots is a proud partner of GoodWeave™, ensuring their rugs are made by adult artisans, not children.

GoodWeave™ is ending child labor and offering educational opportunities to children in carpet weaving communities around the world.

They believe that the only thing more important than rugs, are people.
