About Us
We started Revival because we felt that a quality rug shouldn’t cost a month’s rent. Everywhere we looked for rugs, we saw a general lack of transparency, unreasonable prices, and poor-quality replicas. We didn’t have the money to spend thousands on the rugs we loved, but we also didn’t want to settle for something inferior.
Our Story
We sought out partners, weavers, and collaborators to help us learn about rug design, construction, and history.
In Turkey, we traveled to remote cities notable for their weaving industries, building a network of artisans and collectors to supply handwoven one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. In Oakland, we designed a website and opened a warehouse so we could sell these pieces to you online, and ship them from the US.
When our customers requested new rugs in addition to vintage, we began developing and producing new designs with traditional techniques and materials.
Our Team
We’re a small team with offices in Istanbul, Casablanca, Mumbai, and Oakland. Our co-founders are from the US and Turkey, a country with a beautiful and impressive history of rug making.
As we’ve grown, our values have remained the same. We believe that buying beautiful, well-made rugs should be smooth, transparent, and affordable. We continue to produce and handpick a carefully curated selection of rugs and bring them to your door, minus the mark-up.
Our Values
Good Design
Everyone benefits from well-designed objects, and everyone deserves access to them. Revival creates beautiful, durable rugs that fit into, and elevate, our customers’ lives.
Quality Construction
A common refrain in our design studio is “we start with the weave.” This means we begin with the fiber, determining how it can be enhanced through construction.
Sustainablility
In production we rely on waste-conscious technologies, new and traditional. This serves as a net positive for the environment and local communities.
Ease
Our rugs are designed to improve the lives of our customers: easy to clean and to style. You don’t need to save them for guests, or be afraid to use them or get them messy.
The Mix
In production we rely on waste-conscious technologies, new and traditional. This serves as a net positive for the environment and local communities.
Integrity & Intention
We care about processes, people, history, traditions, and materials. We design products thoughtfully, considering how to preserve cultural industries while doing so.
Global Collaboration
Weaving is an art of exchange: historically rugs traveled great distances to be traded at markets, bridging gaps between cultures. Today, Revival fosters collaboration between people all over the world.
How it works
With operations in the US, Turkey, Morocco, and India, we visit our suppliers regularly to make sure our products meet our quality specifications, and that workers are treated fairly. We simplify the process, eliminating steep markups and costs that don’t add value.
