Why It's Good:

If you can get beyond the fact that you'd be walking on it, this rug is a stunning work of art, just created from Tibetan wool and Chinese silk instead of canvas and paint.

Why It's Green:

All of Helfand's rugs are Rugmark-certified (no child labor!) and hand-knotted, a traditional technique that means fewer emissions from industrial manufacture are being released into the air.
