Discover the timeless beauty and sustainable craftsmanship of Riviere Rugs, which melds luxury and tradition in exquisite handwoven creations for discerning homeowners

Located at the prestigious 1 Nassim Road address in Singapore’s world-famous Orchard shopping belt, Riviere Rugs brings a touch of refined British craftsmanship to Southeast Asia. This sophisticated showroom, Riviere Rugs’s first international foray beyond London, showcases an exquisite selection of up to 20 handwoven rugs. Each piece is a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to quality and design excellence.

Founded in 2005, Riviere Rugs has cultivated a reputation for producing artisanal rugs that marry traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal and in Rajasthan, India, using only the finest natural materials such as hand-carded, hand-spun Tibetan wool and pure Chinese silk. This meticulous process ensures that every rug features a minimum of 80 to 100 knots per square inch, guaranteeing exceptional durability as well as a luxurious texture.

In an era where mass production and synthetic materials reign supreme, Riviere Rugs stands as a beacon of sustainability and artisanal integrity. The brand’s commitment to eco-friendly practices is evident in its use of sustainable Tibetan wool and Tencel silk, an innovative fibre derived from wood pulp. This dedication to sustainability extends to the brand’s production process, where water and by-products are recycled up to 99 per cent, significantly reducing environmental impact.

Among the standout pieces in the Riviere Rugs collection is the Jigsaw rug. This abstract design masterfully plays with pile heights and textures, featuring low loop Tibetan wool and a silk background juxtaposed against raised wool and silk cut pile, meticulously hand-trimmed. Another highlight is the Moonsilk rug, which exudes tranquillity with its depiction of transparent clouds subtly obscuring a full moon, crafted with highly pigmented pastels and woven textures that create delicate shadows and silken highlights.

For those with a penchant for bold colours and textures, the Auray rug offers a striking composition inspired by hand-torn paper collage techniques. This piece combines Tibetan wool and botanic silk to create a rich, layered aesthetic. The Bellagio rug, part of Riviere Rugs’s geometric series, features an intricate lattice pattern with luxurious raised botanic silk details, making it a versatile addition to any sophisticated space.
