Hand-knotted rugs in Mendrisio and the surrounding area
Arredamenti Bernasconi in Mendrisio is an address for anyone in the Mendrisiotto, Lugano and southern Ticino looking for a fine hand-knotted rug. Here you can see pieces from the NEGRA collections in full size, in daylight and up close — from calm, plain rugs to designer pieces in wool and silk with up to 1.5 million knots per square metre.
Whatever is not on display, we source through our gallery in Zurich: other sizes, colourways or a bespoke rug made to your wishes. The full range is open to you here as well.
About Arredamenti Bernasconi
Arredamenti Bernasconi dates back to 1953, when the upholsterer and decorator Luigi Bernasconi opened a small workshop in the old town of Mendrisio. Today his son Roberto leads the house together with a team of interior architects who advise on everything from the choice of a sofa to the planning of an entire home. The showroom, spread over five floors, presents brands such as Minotti, Cassina, Poliform, Flexform and Poltrona Frau.
Our collections
Eight proprietary collections, most of them hand-knotted or hand-woven. A selection is on display at Arredamenti Bernasconi; we are happy to show you any other piece.

A rug behaves differently in your own room than in the showroom — different light, different furniture, different proportions. We bring a selection to your home.
