One of the latest designs to emerge from the Kyoto Ikebana Collection, this is another Zollanvari Studio creation. All things Japanese were all the rage in the late 19th century and greatly inspired the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. But the flow of inspiration worked both ways since these styles travelled back to Japan influencing meisen kimonos, which used abstract, floral and geometric designs. Ikebana is the Japanese art of formal flower arrangement with special regard shown to balance, harmony and form. Our Kyoto Ikebana Enlarged Peonies is a celebration of these themes.
This collection was created originally in collaboration with the Milanese designers SoFar SoNear (www.sofarsonear.com) but has been developed since. When the Sofar SoNear team first saw our Kundan Silk carpets they were inspired and immediately associated the astonishing weaving and dyeing with the world of fashion. The beauty of some iconic fabrics was the ideal inspiration for the Couture collection. Style gurus have proclaimed that fashion and design live in symbiosis, nurturing each other. The Couture Collection confirms this trend. Available in any size, this collection offers a bespoke option for architects and interior designers who wish to personalize the patterns according to their needs.

With its exquisite patterns and the finesse of its quality a Zollanvari carpet captivates and enhances the beauty of its surroundings. The vibrant colours and timeless designs we create combine perfectly with contemporary as well traditional interiors. When thoughtfully placed, our carpets impart a sense of space, vision and form to any setting. Zollanvari’s commitment to the creation of superior quality carpets and exclusive designs, while at the same time preserving the great Persian heritage of carpet art, has not only established the brand as a leader in the global marketplace, but has also inspired us to push the boundaries of carpet design and weaving techniques – from the minimalist development of our tribal Gabbehs to the innovative re-invention of classical patterns seen in our Isfahan Collection. As a result, we have won numerous worldwide accolades for the quality and individuality of our carpets. The spirit of innovation is thus writ large in the carpets and flatweaves created by Zollanvari.
