Lori & Gabbeh Rugs
Bold Tribal Designs with Modern Appeal
The Story
Lori and Gabbeh rugs come from nomadic life in the Zagros, where weavings are made for warmth, comfort, and everyday beauty. Gabbeh pieces are loved for their bold, simplified motifs and modern, graphic calm, often woven in thick, lustrous handspun wool with a soft, inviting pile.
Lori weavings tend to feel grounded and authentic, with confident color and a sense of "woven-from-memory" individuality. Each Gabbeh is a personal expression, with no two alike. Hand-spun wool is dyed with plants and minerals from the mountains, creating bold colors and simple geometries.
The minimalist designs are beloved by modern interior designers seeking authentic, artistic pieces. These are surprisingly contemporary—ancient art that feels utterly modern.
