Nimbaft Rugs

"Nim Baft" literally means "half woven" in Persian — a name that perfectly describes the technique. These are semi-pile weavings that sit between a full-pile knotted rug and a flatweave, often incorporating soozani-style embroidery for decorative effect. The result is a unique surface that feels artisanal and textural rather than plush.

Because the pile is reduced or absent in places, patterns read crisp and graphic, and the rug stays lightweight and easy to place or layer. It's a great choice when you want handcrafted character with a more relaxed, casual feel — a distinctive technique that creates pieces unlike any other in the Persian canon.
