Linda Belden is a painter and designer whose rugs have been featured in leading design magazines including Interior Design, Modern Rugs and Textiles, California Home and Design, In Style, and Country Living. She introduced her first collection at the 2003 International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and continually develops new designs.
Belden translated her life-long interest in textiles into a business, when she met a Zapotec weaving family on a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. Shortly after, she made the acquaintance of another weaving family in Kathmandu, Nepal, and began making Tibetan knotted rugs, as well.
The things she sees every day—the side of a barn, a French t-shirt, tribal textiles, European tiles, modern art, sushi—inspire Linda Belden’s designs. Her distinctive, instinctive color sense energizes these fresh and modern rugs. The rugs, available in special sizes and colors, are made to order to exacting, centuries old weaving standards. As part of the green movement, Belden is currently working on a collection of rugs made only from natural sheep colors—no dyes at all.
