In Tibetan art and cultural expressions, the lion can be seen as a white snow lion with turquoise hair, which is in charge of the powerful demon in the snow-capped mountains of Tibet. The snow lion is also used to represent hermits and yogis who live alone in the mountains. Its four claws, which are as sharp as autumn frost, represent the "four immeasurables", namely the four kinds of Zen concepts of kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. The snow lion acts according to the righteous Dharma, relieves the practitioners of troubles and invites blessings.

"About the workshop"
Studio Changphel is a handmade Tibetan carpet creation and design workshop located in Shannan, Tibet. As one of the few high-end workshops in the world that adheres to the complex hand-weaving technique of "threading poles and knotting" that has been passed down for thousands of years, Studio Changphel brings together the best Tibetan craftsmen in Tibetan areas and uses precious Tibetan materials with extremely high cost at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Northern Plateau wool, using natural and environmentally friendly weaving and dyeing methods, has become the highest-quality representative of Tibetan carpet craftsmanship.
"Craftsmanship"
A handmade Tibetan carpet that can be handed down from generation to generation has gone through more than 30 processes and taken more than 700 hours. Each process strictly considers the skills of the craftsmen.
Screening, carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving, and flat shearing are the key technological processes for the highest quality handmade Tibetan rugs.
Using traditional techniques to hand-dye yarn in a Bronze to create a unique "covered and core yarn" effect is one of Studio Changphel's core technologies. The raw materials of handmade Tibetan carpets come from the precious northern Tibetan plateau wool at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. This extremely high-cost wool has thick cuticles, large scales, high flexibility, a mercerized sheen in the sun, and its coloring ability is much better than other wools. The unique colors of Studio Changphel Tibetan rugs come from more than 200 self-developed colors, using Swiss Klein environmentally friendly dyes to ensure excellent color fixation while being low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
『CLIMATE POSITIVE FOR THE EARTH』
We guarantee that there will be no pollution during the production process and are committed to being as environmentally friendly and low-carbon as possible during the production process. In order to make the colors of Tibetan carpets mellow, durable and environmentally friendly, Shanfu uses environmentally friendly dyes exclusively developed with Klein, Switzerland. Tibetan carpets made from dyes extracted from pure plants will not fade or bleed, and have unique pure colors. At the same time, we recycle the wool scraps produced during the weaving process of Tibetan carpets and use them in the production of other home furnishings and accessories, giving these precious raw materials new life.
『Sustainable Luxury CONSCIOUS LUXURY』
We believe in the lasting appeal of handmade pieces. What we think of luxury is that at a time when quick-finished products are everywhere, we still have the confidence to spend time and repeatedly polishing each product; we still have faith, are not afraid of tediousness, and insist on continuing the millennium weaving tradition. Therefore, we care about the well-being of our Tibetan employees and respect their aesthetics and culture; we treat the creatures on this land tenderly and are infinitely grateful for their gifts; we carefully protect the fertile land on the snowy plateau and recycle all resources. Living in symbiosis with heaven and earth, what is taken from the earth is returned to the earth.
"Living with heaven and earth, walking with nature"
Zero carbon, high quality, exquisite and precipitated. These are all mountains, but they are not enough to constitute a complete mountain. In the future, Shanfeng will continue to discover beauty, create beauty, and continue beauty, and let the world see the beauty of Tibet.
This is Shannan, the birthplace of Tibetan culture. ATELIER CHANGPHEL has established a handmade Tibetan carpet creation and design workshop STUDIO CHANGPHEL here. Dozens of outstanding craftsmen gather here, and they are one of the core members of "Shanfu". Through the hands of craftsmen, Tibetan traditional intangible cultural heritage skills have finally been passed down, and among this group of precious craftsmen, most are women.
Improving the treatment and dignity of craftsmen is something we have always insisted on. We support the national policy of flexible employment at home for ethnic minority women, which provides equal employment rights to local farmers and herdsmen and helps women find employment at home. Nowadays, several craftsmen who were once poor households in the workshop have received their due rewards for their first-class weaving skills, and have also achieved true spiritual independence and self-confidence.
