Carpets: Memories that Unite the Family

Carpets provide an intimate space where families gather around the table, conversations unfold, and precious memories accumulate. In this way, they make visible the depths of a person's inner world. For the societies that weave and use them, carpets have become a form of self-expression.

Woven

A carpet is one of the first points of contact in a person's spatial and social relationships. It carries the traces of personal and collective memory, shaping the identities and sense of belonging of those who live upon it. A carpet is not just a floor covering; it is also a cultural archive and a time machine, telling a story with every knot.
