Why Did You Choose Handmade Carpet?
First of all, of course, because of the artistry of handmade carpets, whether in appearance, style or cultural attributes, handmade carpets are undoubtedly a symbol of fashion and elegance, which cannot be compared with any other solid color carpets. Likewise, the stage design is an important part of a perfect musical performance, and a few exquisite handmade rugs can not only provide the aforementioned benefits, but also greatly enhance the overall decorative effect of the stage setting.
Although there are millions of carpets in the world, there are still subtle differences between carpets of different materials and different processes. Handmade carpets are much denser than other carpets due to the process, and their fibers also absorb more sound than the fibers of ordinary carpets in the same area, so the noise reduction effect is also better.
Another interesting reason is that even for experienced performers, performing in front of thousands of people is still inevitably nerve-racking and anxiety-ridden, so many musicians subconsciously choose the familiar handmade carpets they commonly use at home to accompany them on stage, which helps them ease their nerves and perform with ease on stage.
For centuries, it has been a modern tradition for musicians to lay handmade rugs underneath the loudest percussive instruments on stage, such as the British “Fleetwood Mac” rock band and the American “Eric Clapton” guitar band. They like to use handmade carpets as an indispensable partner in their performances.
In addition to drums, cello, piano and other instruments that need to be in contact with the ground are also usually found together with handmade carpets. Some of our clients, including Tensmith, have purchased handmade carpets to be placed underneath their pianos and other instruments.
In recent years, this tradition and habit has been accepted by more and more musicians, so we may dare to imagine: the future trend of domestic handmade carpets may also be the first to rise from the music circle! Leave your opinion in the comment section.
