This carpet is part of a series designed by Nasser Nishabouri around the idea that the language of classical Persian carpets can be preserved while their appearance is reimagined for contemporary interiors. Rather than changing the essence of the design, the transformation is achieved through simplification, restraint, and a thoughtful reconsideration of colour.
The pattern is derived from the ancient Mahi design, one of the most enduring motifs in Persian weaving. Here, the traditional elements have been refined into a quieter and more minimal composition, allowing the rhythm of the design to emerge without the visual complexity often associated with classical carpets.
The palette is equally unconventional. By limiting the number of colours and reducing contrast, the design acquires a calm and understated character. The soft tonal variations create a sense of balance and harmony, giving the carpet a distinctly modern presence while retaining its connection to centuries of weaving tradition.
Handwoven from hand-spun wool and natural dyes, this piece represents a meeting of old and new, where traditional craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and contemporary design come together. Quiet rather than loud, subtle rather than decorative, it is a carpet that rewards attention and brings a sense of calm sophistication to the interior space.
