Our collaboration with Nina Bruun Studio represents Eastern Mills' commitment to bridging traditional craft with contemporary design vision. This partnership has produced some of our most acclaimed collections.

Nina Bruun brings Scandinavian design sensibility—clean lines, thoughtful minimalism, and reverence for materiality—to her work with Eastern Mills. Her designs honor our artisans' skills while introducing fresh aesthetic perspectives.

The collaborative process begins with Nina visiting our workshops, understanding the techniques and traditions that inform our production. This immersion ensures her designs are achievable while pushing creative boundaries.

The resulting collections feature subdued palettes, refined geometries, and exquisite attention to texture. Each piece balances contemporary appeal with the timeless quality that defines Eastern Mills' identity.

For Nina, the partnership offers access to craft traditions that mass production cannot replicate. For Eastern Mills, her vision introduces our work to design-conscious audiences who might not have discovered traditional rug-making otherwise.

This collaborative model exemplifies how heritage crafts can evolve, remaining relevant to contemporary life while preserving essential qualities that make handmade objects special.
