WHO WE ARE

Jakub blends historic and innovative weaves with an impressive array of unconventional materials to deliver a steady stream of innovative floor coverings. Under his creative direction, we dream of creating the most remarkable rugs and carpets for discerning interior designers and architects across the globe.

GOSIA STARON
Gosia Staron is the co-founder and managing partner of JD Staron, LLC and Rebel Carpets. After obtaining an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business, she started her career as a management consultant and a project manager while supporting her husband in pursuing his dream of creating a design studio for the most exquisite carpets and rugs. Her career allowed her to gain understanding and experience in running a business, from marketing to operations. This experience allowed her to focus on growing JD Staron from one design studio to a network of showrooms and later a distribution company.
JAKUB STARON

Staron is the co-founder and a creative force behind JD Staron, LLC, and Rebel Carpets, two premier floor-covering companies with a master's in fine arts and textile making, uniquely positions Jakub to be a leader and innovator in this ancient industry.

A FAMILY OF WEAVERS
WE are a family, and we’ve been working together for almost 20 years. And whether some of us are New York designers, South American yarn spinners, or weavers in Nepal, we share a common dream of combining our knowledge, traditions, and experience to create the most remarkable collection of floor coverings in the world.
We work with the most experienced weavers in some of the world’s most remote communities. They weave our rugs with passion and pride. We are all friends and partners, a family of craftsmen. We spend a lot of time together. At JD Staron, we are weavers and artists at heart, driven by a passion for preserving traditions and promoting sustainability. Through this dedication, we honor both the craftsmen who create our products and our customers who enjoy them, fostering a legacy of quality, integrity, and mindful innovation. Together, we are weaving a brighter, more sustainable future.
OUR CRAFT
WEAVING is one of humankind’s oldest skills and has played a critical role in every ancient society. JD Staron has embraced the classical roots of the trade by employing techniques free of chemicals and external power sources. Returning to the original form of weaving has allowed us to produce a sustainable and planet-friendly collection.
JD Staron yarn comes from free-grazing sheep. It is hand-clipped, hand-washed, and hand-spun. We don’t use chemicals, dye, or soap. Our rugs are entirely hand-knotted to perfection with naturally processed yarns. To finish the process and soften the pile, we rewash them in pure water and organic oil from neem plants.
In a world challenged by global warming and rising sea levels, JD Staron has taken action; by creating the world’s most eco-friendly collection of rugs. At the forefront of extreme environmentalism, founder Jakub Staron has created a product that is completely chemical-free, hand-woven and hand-washed without compromising the tactile and pleasing sensory experience that rugs produce.
CONSCIOUS OF THE WORLD
OUR mission is to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to the greater good of the planet. We believe that it is our responsibility to take care of the environment and promote sustainability. That’s why, here at JD Staron, we strive to create products that are made with eco-friendly materials, and we use innovative processes with minimal waste. We’re passionate about making a difference and helping to create a better future for our planet.
