“Another stand-out element here is the abstract carpet from Nasser Nishaburi Singapore which was actually the starting point for the design process.”

“Something significant happened at Domotex Hannover this year. It might not have been obvious to all visitors, but series of new works presented by Nasser Nishaburi broke important ground. The four new collections—three by product designer Luis Eslava, and another made and named after Iran’s little known nomadic community, the Kowli—present several small revolutions for Iranian carpets.”

“a passionate advocate for keeping the Persian craft of rug making alive in the digital 21st century.”

“Nishaburi’s family history with the industry in Tabriz dates to 1750. The company founder wanted to take the Persian rug in a new, more modern direction, and that’s precisely how these collections—the hand-made and -spun wool Silence Azerbaijan and the machine-made acrylic Silence Digital—came about.”

“The Nishaburi family has been active in the Persian rug business since 1750. While the originally the family was based in Tabriz, Abbas Nishaburi has been operating out of Tehran since 1958. Over that long period, the Iranian rugs industry has ebbed and flowed as it followed developments in international marketplace both in terms of distribution and access, and taste and style: that the company now operates its own premises in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Chile and Germany is testament to the international nature of its vision.”
