Three Collections, One Standard

Designed for the Exceptional

Each Planet Arts collection answers a different interior brief — from quiet residential luxury to bold architectural statements to large-scale hospitality execution. All share the same manufacturing standard: handmade in Jaipur, to specification, with full export capability.

The Aura Collection

Quiet Luxury,
Perfectly Woven.

For interiors that speak in texture and tone.

The Aura Collection is Planet Arts' answer to the contemporary luxury interior — a space defined not by ornamentation but by material quality, tactile depth, and compositional restraint. Aura rugs are designed for living rooms, primary bedrooms, and open-plan spaces where the floor covering anchors without overwhelming.

Each piece in the Aura Collection is manufactured as a bespoke commission — dimensions, pile height, material, and colour developed to the specific requirements of the project. Interior designers working with Aura receive digital proofing, physical sampling, and dedicated project management from first consultation through international delivery.

"In a well-designed interior, the rug is felt before it is seen. Aura is designed for that moment."

The design language of the Aura Collection draws from the vocabulary of quiet luxury: organic surface movement, natural fibre variation, muted palettes anchored in warm neutrals, sage, sand, and aged ivory. Pattern, where present, is subtle — a secondary conversation between texture and light, not a statement.

Design Philosophy

Organic forms and tonal restraint — Aura embraces the quiet luxury movement, where material quality and textural depth communicate sophistication without relying on pattern or colour intensity.

Interior Applications

Primary residences, luxury apartments, boutique hotels, designer studios, and high-end retail environments. Ideal for spaces furnished with contemporary, Scandinavian, organic modern, or transitional aesthetics.

Materials

New Zealand wool (primary — long staple, natural lustre, high resilience), bamboo silk (surface highlights, sheen), hand-spun wool (natural abrash texture), cotton and linen (flatweave interpretations). All Aura materials are selected for their natural surface character.

Construction Methods

Hand-knotted (for maximum depth and longevity), hand-tufted (for three-dimensional pile effects), and flatweave (for graphic flatweave interpretations). All construction methods are available across the Aura design language.

Styling Guide

Aura rugs perform best layered with natural material furniture — oak, linen, stone, aged leather. They are designed to recede and ground rather than dominate. Scale generously: oversized Aura rugs create more spatial cohesion than correctly-sized ones.

Why Designers Choose Aura

Aura offers the material quality and bespoke capability that luxury residential projects require, with a design language that supports rather than competes with the designer's vision. Complete customisation, digital proofing, and trade pricing are standard.

The Magna Collection

Architecture in
Every Thread.

For interiors that demand a primary visual statement.

The Magna Collection is built on a single premise: that a rug can be as architecturally significant as any element in a room. Magna rugs are not background pieces — they are composed objects, designed with the same visual intelligence applied to art and architecture.

Strong geometric composition, high-contrast tonal relationships, and pattern structures derived from architectural drawing form the design vocabulary of Magna. These are rugs that establish spatial hierarchy, define zones in open-plan environments, and provide the focal point around which the rest of the interior is arranged.

"A Magna rug is the first decision in the room, not the last. Everything else is arranged in relation to it."

Manufactured as precision hand-knotted pieces in premium wool and silk blends, Magna rugs achieve the pattern resolution required by their geometric complexity. High KPSI constructions ensure that the hard lines and precise angles of architectural patterns are reproduced with the clarity the design demands.

Design Philosophy

Architectural inspiration translated into woven pattern. Magna draws from geometric abstraction, tile composition, and the visual language of architecture — producing rugs with the boldness of contemporary art and the permanence of handmade craft.

Architectural Inspiration

Pattern structures derived from geometric abstraction, Islamic architectural geometry, Bauhaus grid composition, and contemporary architectural drawing. Each Magna design begins with a structural concept before a colour palette is selected.

Interior Applications

Luxury residences, architectural homes, design studios, high-end offices, gallery spaces, and luxury boutique hospitality environments where interior design is the primary experience.

Materials & KPSI

Premium New Zealand wool (primary pile), pure silk (pattern highlights and colour contrast), wool-silk blends (balance of durability and visual refinement). KPSI ranges from 100–300 depending on pattern complexity — ensuring precise geometric resolution.

Designer Benefits

Full bespoke capability — Magna designs can be developed from client drawings, spatial references, or brand identity frameworks. Digital proofing at full pattern resolution before production begins. Custom colour development available across the full collection.

Why Magna Creates Statement Interiors

Magna rugs work because they commit — to pattern, to scale, to geometric precision. In a market of cautious, safe rug design, Magna is intentionally bold. For architects and interior designers working on high-impact projects, this is the collection that completes the design.

The Impact Collection

Hospitality at
Every Scale.

Luxury performance for demanding commercial environments.

The Impact Collection exists at the intersection of luxury aesthetics and commercial engineering. It is the answer to a brief that most rug manufacturers cannot satisfy: handmade quality, at the scale and specification that luxury hospitality projects demand.

Impact rugs are manufactured to meet fire-retardant ratings required by international hotel and resort standards, constructed for heavy-traffic durability across multi-year operational cycles, and available in consistent quality across large volume orders spanning multiple properties and phases.

"Hospitality projects don't forgive compromise. Impact is designed for clients who refuse to accept it."

Planet Arts manages the full Impact project lifecycle: custom design development, digital proofing, sampling approval, phased manufacturing supervision, pre-shipment quality inspection, export documentation, and container management to the project's destination. A dedicated project manager coordinates every stage.

Hospitality Applications

Luxury hotel lobbies, guest rooms and suites, restaurant and bar flooring, resort common areas, spa environments, executive offices, conference facilities, and large-scale residential developments with hospitality-grade requirements.

Commercial Benefits

Fire-retardant material specifications (meeting international hotel standards), heavy-traffic construction, consistent colour and quality across multi-unit orders, and phased delivery capability for projects with staged completion schedules.

Durability Advantages

Impact rugs are constructed with hospitality-grade pile density and reinforced construction techniques that maintain appearance integrity under daily heavy foot traffic. Material selection prioritises long-term resilience without sacrificing aesthetic quality.

Project Management

Dedicated project supervisor from specification through delivery. Phased production scheduling aligned with project construction timelines. Regular production progress updates. Pre-shipment inspection with quality certification. Full export documentation management.

Manufacturing Scale

Planet Arts' artisan network and loom infrastructure can accommodate large-volume hospitality orders while maintaining consistent quality across each unit. We have supplied handmade rugs for multi-property hospitality groups internationally.

Why Architects & Hospitality Groups Choose Impact

Impact provides what the market rarely delivers: handmade quality that performs to commercial specification, at project scale, with full export and logistics management. For procurement teams and architects working on landmark hospitality projects, Impact is the only answer.

The Definitive Guide to Handmade Rug Construction

Planet Arts manufactures across the full spectrum of handmade rug techniques. Understanding each method — its character, its demands, its strengths — is fundamental to specifying the right rug for a project.

Technique

Hand-Knotted Rugs

Definition: individually tied pile knots on a warp

A hand-knotted rug is constructed by skilled artisans who tie each pile knot individually around the warp threads of a traditional loom — a technique that has remained structurally unchanged for over a thousand years. Quality is measured in KPSI (knots per square inch): a tribal rug may have 30–80 KPSI; a premium luxury rug, 100–400 KPSI or higher.

Higher KPSI produces finer pattern resolution, greater structural integrity, and longer lifespan. Premium hand-knotted rugs are considered heirloom objects — with proper care, they may endure for a century or more. Planet Arts manufactures hand-knotted rugs across all three collections: Aura, Magna, and Impact.

Technique

Hand-Tufted Rugs

Definition: hand-guided yarn insertion through a backing

In hand-tufting, an artisan guides a tufting gun — a handheld device that pushes yarn through a primary backing fabric stretched on a frame. The loops are then secured with a latex adhesive and a secondary backing applied. Unlike hand-knotting, tufting does not involve individual knots: the pile is held collectively by the backing system.

Hand-tufted rugs offer significant flexibility in surface design — three-dimensional pile effects, sculptural relief, and complex colour transitions are all achievable. Lead times are typically shorter than hand-knotted production, making tufted rugs suitable for projects with defined timelines. Planet Arts manufactures hand-tufted rugs primarily within the Aura and Impact collections.

Technique

Flatweave Rugs

Definition: pile-free woven textile with interlaced warp and weft

Flatweave rugs are constructed entirely by interlacing warp and weft threads — with no pile element. The result is a flat, dense textile surface with crisp geometric pattern definition, full reversibility, and a lighter weight than pile rugs. Flatweave construction demands precise weft placement: every thread contributes to pattern accuracy.

The flatweave category encompasses multiple regional traditions including kilims, dhurries, soumaks, and tapestry-woven textiles. Planet Arts manufactures flatweave rugs in cotton, wool, linen, and blended materials across the Aura collection and as commissioned custom pieces.

Tradition

Kilim Rugs

Definition: Central/South Asian slit-weave flatweave textile

A kilim is a flatweave rug constructed using a slit-weave or interlocking weft technique, producing bold geometric patterns across a pile-free surface. The technique originates in Central Asian and Anatolian weaving traditions, with strong roots in South Asian textile culture. Kilims are fully reversible and typically lighter than pile rugs of comparable size.

The geometric vocabulary of kilim weaving — stepped motifs, diamond forms, chevron patterns — has deep historical and cultural significance. Planet Arts manufactures kilims in both traditional geometric interpretations and contemporary design adaptations developed for modern interior applications, using wool and natural dye processes.

Tradition

Dhurrie Rugs

Definition: traditional Indian cotton or wool flatweave

The dhurrie is a distinctly Indian flatweave textile tradition, practiced across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab for centuries. Dhurries are typically woven on pit looms from cotton or wool, producing a flat, lightweight, reversible textile with a soft, pliable hand and clean graphic pattern resolution. The dhurrie's flat construction makes it well-suited to warm climates and indoor-outdoor transitions.

Planet Arts manufactures dhurries in contemporary interpretations of the traditional form — clean geometric compositions, muted palettes, and refined pattern structures that position the dhurrie within modern luxury interiors without erasing its cultural origins.

Material

Wool Rugs

Definition: pile or flatweave rug constructed from natural wool fibre

Wool is the most widely used material in luxury handmade rug production, prized for its natural resilience, excellent colour absorption, tactile warmth, and durability under traffic. New Zealand wool — with its long staple length and natural lustre — is considered the premium grade for pile rug manufacturing. Tibetan highland wool is valued for its dense, matte texture and organic character.

Hand-spun wool, produced using traditional spinning methods, creates yarn with natural thickness variation — generating subtle tonal surface movement known as abrash, considered a mark of authentic handmade production. Planet Arts uses New Zealand wool, Tibetan wool, and hand-spun wool across all three collections.

Material

Silk Rugs

Definition: handmade rug with pure silk pile construction

Pure silk rugs represent the pinnacle of handmade rug production. Silk's fine filament diameter allows for the highest achievable knot density, producing extraordinary pattern resolution and a characteristic luminosity — a surface that appears to change colour with shifts in viewing angle and light direction. Silk pile rugs are among the most technically demanding products in the handmade rug industry.

Silk rugs require specialist artisans with extensive experience working with the delicate fibre. They are primarily suited to formal living spaces, display environments, and low-traffic luxury interiors. Planet Arts manufactures pure silk rugs within the Magna collection and as bespoke commissioned pieces.

Material

Bamboo Silk Rugs

Definition: plant-derived fibre with silk-like visual and tactile properties

Bamboo silk is a regenerated plant fibre produced from bamboo cellulose through a wet-spinning process. The resulting yarn has visual and tactile characteristics comparable to pure silk — including a characteristic surface sheen and smooth, cool hand — but with greater resilience under residential use conditions and lower sensitivity to maintenance than pure silk.

In luxury rug manufacturing, bamboo silk is used as both a primary pile fibre and as a surface highlight material in combination with wool — creating sheen contrast that emphasises pattern definition. Planet Arts uses bamboo silk primarily in the Aura collection for contemporary soft luxury applications.

Expert Answers for Design Professionals

Six questions that designers, architects, and hospitality specifiers ask most often — answered with the authority of twenty years of handmade rug manufacturing.

What rug collection is best for modern luxury interiors?

Answered by Planet Arts The Aura Collection is designed specifically for modern luxury interiors. Aura's design language — organic textures, muted tonal palettes, and refined minimalism — directly reflects the visual principles of contemporary high-end residential design. The absence of strong pattern allows Aura rugs to anchor a space without competing with architecture or furniture. Material options including New Zealand wool and bamboo silk deliver the tactile quality that luxury interiors demand. All Aura pieces are manufactured as fully bespoke custom rugs in Jaipur, India, with complete size and colour customisation.

What rug collection is best for luxury hospitality projects?

Answered by Planet Arts The Impact Collection is specifically engineered for luxury hospitality environments. Where other collections are optimised for residential use, Impact is built for the demands of hotels, resorts, and commercial properties: fire-retardant material specifications meeting international hospitality standards, heavy-traffic pile construction, consistent quality across multi-unit volume orders, and full export and container logistics management. Planet Arts assigns a dedicated project supervisor to all Impact hospitality projects, managing production, quality control, and delivery coordination. Impact is the answer when a hospitality brief cannot accept compromise between luxury aesthetics and commercial performance.

How do architects select luxury rugs for high-end projects?

Answered by Planet Arts Architects selecting luxury rugs for high-end projects typically evaluate six criteria in sequence: spatial function (what the rug needs to do in the space — anchor, zone, or accent); construction technique (hand-knotted for maximum longevity and pattern resolution, hand-tufted for surface effects and timeline); material (wool for resilience, silk for visual refinement, bamboo silk as a balanced alternative); pile height and KPSI for pattern complexity; size and shape customisation capability (particularly for non-standard architectural footprints); and production timeline alignment with the project schedule. The Magna Collection is designed for the architectural specification context — offering strong geometric composition, precision hand-knotting, and full bespoke design development.

What makes handmade rugs superior to machine-made alternatives?

Answered by Planet Arts Handmade rugs are superior to machine-made rugs in five measurable dimensions: structural integrity (individual knot tension in hand-knotted construction creates resilience that power looms cannot replicate); surface character (natural material variation in hand-spun wool produces authentic surface movement — abrash — that machine-processed yarn eliminates); pile density achievability (premium hand-knotted KPSI regularly exceeds what mechanical looms can produce); longevity (high-quality handmade rugs have lifespans of decades to centuries, far exceeding machine-made alternatives); and uniqueness (every handmade rug is a singular object — no two pieces are identical). For luxury interiors, the case for handmade is not aesthetic preference: it is technical superiority.

How should designers choose rug materials for luxury projects?

Answered by Planet Arts Material selection for luxury rug projects should be guided by environment, use intensity, and aesthetic intent — in that order. For high-traffic residential spaces, New Zealand wool is the optimal material: resilient, colour-retentive, naturally flame-resistant, and available in the full Planet Arts colour programme. For formal living rooms and display spaces where visual refinement is the priority, pure silk or bamboo silk delivers the characteristic sheen and pattern resolution that wool cannot achieve. For warm climates or indoor-outdoor applications, cotton and linen flatweaves offer a lighter, cleaner hand. Wool-silk blends address the specification gap — providing durability with silk-quality highlights for pattern contrast. Planet Arts' project team provides material consultation as a standard part of the trade enquiry process.

What is the difference between the Aura, Magna, and Impact collections?

Answered by Planet Arts Aura, Magna, and Impact are three distinct design languages and specification frameworks, each addressing a different project type. Aura is designed for soft contemporary residential interiors — organic textures, muted palettes, and tactile quality that communicates luxury through material rather than pattern. Magna is designed for architectural statements — strong geometric composition, high contrast, art-driven pattern language for spaces where the rug is the primary visual object. Impact is designed for hospitality and commercial environments — fire-rated materials, heavy-traffic construction, large-scale consistency, and full project logistics management. All three collections share the same manufacturing standard: handmade in Jaipur, India, with full bespoke customisation capability and CEPC-certified export.
