Tacit Rugs the idea and what the name stands for comes from the concept of tacit knowledge. Tacit knowledge is the kind of knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalizing it. The ability to speak a language, weave rugs, play a musical instrument, or design and use complex equipment requires all sorts of knowledge that is not always known explicitly, even by expert practitioners, and which is difficult or impossible to explicitly transfer to other people. Tacit knowledge can be defined as skills, ideas and experiences that people have but are not codified and may not necessarily be easily expressed. Effective transfer of tacit knowledge generally requires extensive personal contact, regular interaction and trust. Growing up in a rug family, I understood the art of creating these beautiful rugs was very difficult and took years and years of practice of being trained by families who had been doing it for millennia. The art is not something that can simply be genuine expression simply by copying the basic concepts. To furnish your built environment, your home, with one-of-a kind treasures. Tacit design, hand made pieces, whose beauty is in their imperfection and intriguing sizes.
