100% Bamboo Silk Rugs

Bamboo silk rugs bring a warm, luminous quality to any interior. Their smooth, soft surface and gentle sheen create a refined ambiance, making them a beautiful foundation for living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces where texture and elegance matter.

Crafted from bamboo, a resilient perennial plant, each rug in our bamboo silk collection features a luxurious feel that resembles traditional silk while providing the practical durability of bamboo. This combination produces rugs that are visually striking, comfortable underfoot, and suitable for everyday living.

The Beauty and Craft of Bamboo Silk

Bamboo silk is a relatively new material in the world of handmade rugs, yet it shares many qualities with natural silk fibers used by artisans for centuries. Tufenkian began working with bamboo silk decades ago after confirming that it met our strict standards for quality, color performance, and tactile beauty.

Our bamboo silk rugs may be crafted from 100 percent bamboo silk or blended with wool, and each one stands proudly alongside our other luxury handmade rugs. The natural sheen and smooth texture of bamboo silk deliver a look similar to natural  silk at a more accessible cost. The source material is also sustainable and renewable, reflecting our value of responsible materials.

Over the last 15 years, our artisans have woven hundreds of exceptional rugs using bamboo silk and bamboo silk blends. Each piece is handwoven with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship that defines every Tufenkian rug.

Lustrous, Durable Art Silk

Select producers create Tufenkian bamboo silk exclusively for us. These partners are experienced suppliers of this component of luxury handmade carpets. Using a meticulous process, the producers transform bamboo cellulose into filaments which are skillfully woven into yarn. This process creates what’s known as art silk, or artificial silk; the resulting material is called viscose. 

Bamboo silk is a superior type of viscose because it is composed of bamboo fiber rather than wood pulp. Because of its hydrophilic nature, bamboo silk avoids some of the negatives that may result from prolonged use of other types of viscose, such as the variety made from wood pulp. 

Our bamboo silk carpets also receive a special finishing to enhance performance. We’ve laboratory-tested our bamboo silk and determined its performance and wear suits high-traffic areas. While these exceptionally attractive carpets may not perform as well as our premium wool or natural silk products, their alluring sheen and texture allow us to create them at significantly lower price point than 100% natural silk rugs. We recommend professional cleaning of bamboo silk rugs.
