ABOUT US

Our clients have already realized that we do not just make rugs, but weave dreams.

The greatest desire for Ferreira de Sá, is not to be one of the greatest producers of bespoke rugs, but to provide the best services to those that seek us to make their dreams come true; a personal and/or public (contract) space, timeless, where excellence and creativity are appreciated.

From a Portuguese family business, situated in a village with a tradition of hand-woven tapestries, Tapeçarias Ferreira de Sá evolved to a large-scale organisation,

Weaving your dreams,in an unique style!

constantly expanding and improving its factory, designing an industrial unit with a solid and automated structure, while taking care not to neglect the origins and tradition of the art of weaving.

All our carpets are custom-made and for us every project is unique and personalized, bearing in mind the personalities and tastes of those that choose them. We have accepted the challenge of cooperating alongside architects and interior designers, who work with highly demanding customers, fully aware that fashions are temporal but quality and elegance are not.

HAND-KNOTTED RUGSThese rugs, produced by highly skilled and experienced craftsmen, are woven by a creation of knots in manual looms. A short piece of yarn is tied around two neighbouring warp strands creating a knot on the surface of the rug. These handmade rugs, mostly Portuguese hand-knotted, are true works of art, both the classical designs as well as the contemporary ones.

HAND-WOVENThese rugs are produced manually in

looms and the weaving process is called flat weave, since no knots are used and the

surface looks flat. The width of the rugs can go up to 5m, which make it possible to

create a wide range of designs on a two-faced surface.

HAND-TUFTEDIn a hand-tufted rug the yarn is pushed through a backing, creating a tuft. This method of rug making requires a high level of craftsmanship to efficiently and accurately portray the intricate designs.The tufting method creates a highly durable and beautifully accurate handmade rug that will weather foot traffic for years to come.

3D-TUFTEDTufting also allows us to explore the

volumetry and dimensions of designs, giving way to a 3 dimensional rug.A single rug can have various pile

heights on its surface, depicting numerous varying angles, reflecting a

unique 3D surface experience.
