The cypress tree, sarv in Persian, is one of the oldest and most enduring symbols of Iranian culture. It appears in the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, and can be seen in the carvings of Persepolis dating back more than 2,500 years. In Persian poetry, the cypress is a symbol of beauty, grace, dignity, and everlasting youth. Its elegant form and evergreen nature made it the perfect metaphor for the beloved, a symbol that has inspired artists, poets, and weavers for centuries.
This carpet was created as a contemporary interpretation of that ancient tradition. At its centre stands a highly abstract cypress tree, emerging through layers of colour and texture that blur the boundary between design and painting. The composition transforms a familiar cultural symbol into a bold and expressive work of textile art.
Produced in Azerbaijan, Iran, using hand-spun wool and natural dyes, this piece is the result of a collaboration between our design work and the creativity of local artisans. As is often the case with traditional weaving, the designer and weaver each contribute their own interpretation, making every piece unique. The result is not merely a carpet but a culmination of mythology, craftsmanship, artistic expression, and generations of inherited knowledge.
A unique piece, impossible to reproduce exactly, it is equally at home as a floor covering or as a work of art, bringing beauty, cultural depth, and conversation into the interior space.
