Tradition, Innovation & Passion.
The history of Ruckstuhl is the history of a workshop that has followed its own path since 1881. Rooted in craftsmanship, shaped by natural materials, and open to new ideas, Ruckstuhl creates rugs that combine durability and innovation.
Our D.N.A. shows what drives us: responsibility towards material and origin, the joy of technical and creative development, and collaboration with people who share our passion for quality and design.
That is what we stand for in our name.

Since 1881
