ABOUT THIS PIECE

Shiraz Gabbehs carry the spirit of the Fars province (earthy, expressive, and rooted in tradition) while embracing a modern, minimalist taste. Woven in workshops around Shiraz, these rugs feature open fields of colour, checkered patterns, and stylised motifs drawn from nature and daily life.

Their pared-back designs and rich textures make them a natural fit for contemporary interiors, while their warmth and character bring depth to more eclectic or traditional spaces. Colours are vibrant yet grounded, and the patterns leave space for interpretation: subtle, soulful, and never overly polished.

Crafted using handspun wool from local sheep and dyed with natural materials, each rug is woven on a horizontal loom and finished with a thick, soft pile. The result is a tactile and timeless piece: honest in material, generous in feel, and easy to live with.
