From nomadic crafts to your home

Gabbeh rugs originated among nomadic peoples in southern Iran and have been made for centuries. Originally, they were knotted for personal use by the women of the tribe, often with motifs from the weaver's life such as animals, trees and people. Carpient's collection of Gabbeh rugs combines this traditional aesthetic with modern manufacturing methods and materials. The result is a rug with original charm, for today's homes.

The color palette of Gabbeh rugs has traditionally been dominated by earthy tones like brown, red and beige. Modern Gabbeh rugs, on the other hand, can have a wider range of colors, including blue, to suit contemporary tastes and decor.

Decorate with Gabbeh rugs: room by room

Gabbeh rugs are versatile and can fit into any room. Choose a size and color to match, and the rugs will give the room a rustic and comfortable feel. Here are some general tips:

Living room: Place a large rectangular Gabbeh rug in the center of the living room to create a focal point with a rustic and cozy feel. Or use it to define a smaller area - for example, place it under the sofa group so that the furniture is fully or partially on the rug.

Bedroom: A blue Gabbeh rug with its calm and cool tones promotes relaxation and rest in the bedroom. Place a large rectangular or round rug under the bed, so that part of it sticks out and gives you a soft surface to put your feet on when you wake up. Alternatively, you can place one or more Gabbeh runners along the sides of the bed.

Hallway: A Gabbeh runner gives the hallway a warm and welcoming feel and can withstand a lot of wear and tear thanks to its robust construction. Choose a darker color, such as a red carpet, to effectively hide dirt that is easily drawn in from outside.
