Origin

Mazandaran is one of Iran's most remote mountain regions. It lies in the north of the country and is shaped by a landscape that is untypically subtropical for Iran, stretching between the sandy beaches of the Caspian Sea and the snow-capped peaks of the Alborz mountains. For a long time it was assumed that Mazandaran was out of the question as a source of collectable textiles. All the greater was the surprise when, in the mid-1990s, the textile heritage of simple farmers living from crops and livestock was rediscovered in village chests and cupboards in Hezar-Jerib, a remote, poor and almost forgotten mountain area in the far east of Mazandaran.

The Kelims from Mazandaran are regarded as an archetype of minimal design. Because of their very local history, these Kelims only became widely known among specialists in the past decade. Thanks to their simple, understated patterns, which still feel contemporary, and their harmonious, earthy tones, their following keeps growing.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
