Founding & Early Years

The Ghiordes Knot opened its doors in 1977 as one of the original showrooms at the Michigan Design Center. Founded with a passion for fine rugs, the company began as a boutique source for exquisite hand-knotted carpets from around the world. Early on, The Ghiordes Knot earned a reputation for quality and connoisseurship, offering designers access to rare and beautiful rugs accompanied by deep product knowledge. This dedication to excellence in both product and service quickly established The Ghiordes Knot as a trusted resource for the interior design community.

Decades of Growth and Service

Over the ensuing decades, The Ghiordes Knot steadily expanded its offerings and expertise to meet designers’ evolving needs. We broadened our inventory beyond traditional rugs to include contemporary designs, specialty broadloom carpet, and custom floor coverings – all while maintaining a curated mix of products that stays current and relevant. Throughout this growth, our commitment to “unsurpassed service to the trade” has remained our defining characteristic. We pride ourselves on the lasting relationships built with design professionals and the many notable projects that have featured our rugs. By continuously updating our collections and upholding rigorous quality standards, The Ghiordes Knot has kept its showroom both interesting and invaluable to new generations of designers.

For nearly five decades, The Ghiordes Knot has been a trusted partner to designers seeking exceptional rugs and flooring. Today, our showroom continues to be a premier destination for distinctive rugs and bespoke carpet solutions, blending a legacy of expertise with a forward-looking perspective on style.

Our core values – quality, integrity, and a spirit of collaboration – remain at the heart of everything we do. The Ghiordes Knot’s rich heritage drives us as we embrace the future, striving to inspire and support the design community for many years to come.
