Led by founder Fabian Ortega and later joined by Carlos Echeverría, TeHer – The Art Rug Company – began 10 years ago as a passion project rooted in a 28-year love for art and collecting. It has since evolved into the creation of one-of-a-kind pieces that blend timeless tradition with bold contemporary design.
Our journey has taken us along the Silk Road and beyond—through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, India, Morocco, and Mali—connecting with extraordinary artisans whose dedication, skill, and cultural heritage inspire every creation. We honor centuries of artistry while pushing boundaries through modern expression.
