Chambéry, we're coming to you.

June 12–13, you'll find us at Marché des Continents. Come say hi, touch the rugs, see the work up close. Every piece traveled here from Albania — handwoven, one at a time.

We are proud to be among the 47 countries represented at this remarkable gathering, a true crossroads of the world's cultures and traditions. For us, it is more than a market; it is an opportunity to carry a piece of Albanian heritage onto an international stage, and to share the craft, the stories, and the hands behind every rug with curious hearts from across the globe.

We'd love to meet you there.

📍 Parc du Verney, Chambéry
🗓️ June 12 & 13, 2026

With the support of the Municipality of Korçë, the Municipality of Chambéry, and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"A language spoken only by hands, and carried, in Albania, almost entirely by women."

The weavers at Thurje are women from Korça and the surrounding region. Their knowledge is not learned from books, it is carried in the body, passed between generations within families, refined over decades of work at the loom.

A custom piece, made to the exact dimensions of this room.
The palette came from the space itself: warm neutrals, a quiet grid, cotton woven flat on the floor loom in Korçë. The kind of piece that doesn’t announce itself. It simply holds the room together.

Custom sizes and colorways available. Contact us.
