Hands Carpets, one of the world’s finest creators of luxury rugs, proudly presents the “One Love” carpet collection — a heartfelt international initiative that brings together 9 visionary designers from 9 countries across 5 continents, unified by creativity, compassion, and craftsmanship.

Crafted as a response to the global pandemic, the One Love carpet collection transcends borders and culture. It is a bold and beautiful showcase of global designer carpets, where each handmade piece is more than décor—it’s a message of unity, purpose, and hope.

Art Woven with Heart
Curated by architect Padmini Pandey of Atelier Padmini Pandey, this ten-piece collection was born from a desire to create something uplifting during times of uncertainty. It reflects a world without divisions, guided by the timeless connection between sky and sea—symbols of universality and peace.

"One Love is what they named me; all I understood is – what else can it be! When there is only one world, how many loves do we need?" – Padmini

This powerful expression of emotion and culture is showcased through art-inspired handmade carpets, each telling a story shaped by its designer's unique background and artistic perspective.

While each designer contributes one rug, the tenth carpet is a symbolic group masterpiece, celebrating shared creativity, resilience, and the human spirit. This rug, titled “One Love World”, is a collective tribute to harmony in diversity.

Handcrafted for a Cause
Every rug in the collection is hand-knotted in India, preserving ancient techniques while embracing modern artistic language. But what makes this more than a luxury collection is its deep social impact. The Hands Carpets One Love initiative is a true charity carpet collection, where design meets compassion.

With every purchase, a portion of proceeds supports Project Mala education support—a program dedicated to educating underprivileged children living in and around India’s carpet weaving communities. Every rug sold contributes to carpets for a cause, sponsoring one full year of primary education for a child.

Where Emotion, Art, and Purpose Converge
The One Love carpet collection is not only a visual masterpiece but a symbol of global unity and positive change. It represents a new era in design—where global designer carpets are used to express not just aesthetic appeal, but social responsibility.

“This collection is about emotional connection. It’s about using design to build bridges across the world,” says the team at Hands Carpets.
