Mohebban

With an obsessive attention to the quality and constant dialogue between tradition, innovation and contemporary design, Mohebban rugs harmoniously knot the threads of the past with those of the present and the future.

A rug is not simply a furnishing accessory: it is a piece of cultural history that has been handed down from generation to generation, enriched with know-how, skills and sophisticated techniques. The shape of the rugs defines the physical and spiritual dimensions. The rug-knotting tells an age-old story that is projected to contemporary living, adding beauty and an exclusive touch to the private universe of the owner. This responsibility should not be underestimated and the Mohebban family knows what is expected of them. Since the early 70s, Mohebban has been producing superior quality rugs; however, the company has never lost sight of these core values and the meaning of this ancient art form deeply rooted in history. The company’s journey began in Iran, the family’s homeland, with destination Milan, where the company headquarters was founded more than half a century ago; it has strong ties to Turkey, India and Pakistan where the rug production now takes place. Three generations of the family have shared the same international vision; a vision that embraces tradition, with attention to detail, age-old gestures, procedures projected to contemporary living, always focussing on the designs and the challenges of the present day with its continuously evolving dynamics.

Mohebban Collections are the in-house collections developed by the company; they are inspired by ancient Persian, Turkish or Moroccan traditions. Contemporary artisan rugs – full of charm and personality – are created by revisiting eastern Turkestan designs or geometric Scottish tartans, by inventing abstract decorations and transforming antique pieces, which are redyed, cut and restitched. Timeless classics that add an inimitable touch of class and elegance to every ambience.

Mohebban Editions are the workshop-collections entrusted to the creativity of free-lance designers, the result of unexpected intuition and bursting with courageous experimentation. Exposed stitching as graphic signs, evocation of a past embedded in the textile world, emerging architectonic shapes, unexpected tassels and audacious transformations combine and create an essential part of the Editions language.

Infinite motion of waves that chase each other and merge into hypnotic vortices and tumultuous billows, the gaze magnetically attracted by the strength of the abyss and the immensity enclosed in it

Old Anatolian carpets, aged between 20 and 50, are bleached and overdyed, cut into squares of different sizes and finally sewn together by hand in a Patchwork.

A succession of vertical lines in relief, carved by hand, is interrupted by colored rectangles, which like tesserae embellish the rigor of the basic design.
