6. Connubia
Connubia is a brand of Calligaris Group, an Italian company that has evolved over its 100-year history thanks to its ability to intelligently combine artistic abilities and innovation. What drives them is the desire to create products that appeal to people’s tastes and bring them together. Products that add value while paying close attention to our planet’s well-being. They achieve this by combining their artisans’ knowledge and skills, which have been passed down through the generations to promising young talent, with new technologies, new materials, and innovative development techniques.

Both are run by skilled artisans who are passionate about handcrafted rugs.
9. Golran 1898
Their nomadic story began in 1898 in Mashad, Persia, with the trading and manufacture of carpets, emulating to some extent the fate of the objects they produce: headquarters in Milan since 1968, production in Nepal since early 2000, art direction in Paris as of 2010, global marketing from the start. The business Eliahu, Elia, Nathan, and Benjamin inherited from their great grandfather Hajizadeh Golran, then passed down by their fathers, Nemat and Ruben, along with the teachings of the great master knotters in Persia, Turkey, and India, form a valuable cultural background now accessible to the design world and tailored to the technological evolution.

13. Minotti
Minotti is an Italian company with a solid international reputation as an excellent expression of “Made in Italy” in contemporary furniture design and an ambassador of a classic-modern lifestyle in the residential and hospitality segments. Alberto Minotti’s intuition led to the establishment of the company in 1948. The small-scale artisan workshop grew quickly and, beginning in the 1960s, took on a more industrialised character and size. Renato and Roberto Minotti took over the reins of the company after their father died unexpectedly in 1991, and began a process of growth and expansion into international markets. They have shared their creative vision and aesthetic key-principles with the architect Rodolfo Dordoni, who has been assigned the strategic role of Art Director and coordinator of all the company collections, since 1998. A story of Italian excellence has also been shared by the third generation, with Alessio, Alessandro, Susanna, and Leonardo at the forefront, as they face the challenges of the third millennium, of the digital and multicultural world.
14. Missoni
The Missoni Home Collection is one of the most visible manifestations of the Missoni spirit. With textile elements to wear and furnishings to decorate, there is perfect harmony between the person and the environment. Colors and patterns adorn the home, making each space unique and dynamic.
15. Mohebban
A rug is more than just a decorative item: it is a piece of cultural history that has been passed down from generation to generation, rich in know-how, skills, and sophisticated techniques. The physical and spiritual dimensions are defined by the shape of the rugs. The rug-knotting tells an age-old story that is projected into modern living, adding beauty and an exclusive touch to the owner’s private universe. This responsibility should not be taken lightly, and the Mohebban family is well aware of what is expected of them.
Mohebban has been producing high-quality rugs since the early 1970s, but the company has never lost sight of its core values and the significance of this ancient art form steeped in history. The journey of the company began in Iran, the family’s homeland, and ended in Milan, where the company headquarters was founded more than a half-century ago; it has strong ties to Turkey, India, and Pakistan, where rug production now takes place. Three generations of the family have shared the same international vision; a vision that embraces tradition, with attention to detail, age-old gestures, and procedures projected to contemporary living, while always focusing on the designs and challenges of today’s ever-changing dynamics.
16. nanimarquina
The Marquina home has always been filled with design elements. Rafael Marquina, Nani’s father and designer of the famous Marquina oil cruet, was a pioneer of Spanish industrial design. This had an impact on Nani, who was drawn to her father’s creative ability and decided to follow in his footsteps. However, in the 1970s, a new design path emerged, closer to art and craftsmanship, with which Nani was eager to experiment.
When Spain’s dictatorship ended and democracy was restored, the country was completely transformed. Revolutionary changes occurred at every level—economic, social, and political. The design bonanza was a period of extraordinary vitality, euphoria, and celebration. Against this backdrop, nanimarquina took the market by storm with a completely novel concept: transforming the traditional rug into a contemporary design product.
At the time, both the emerging professions of industrial designer and entrepreneur were reserved for men. That did not stop Nani Marquina from starting a business, designing and marketing her product, and, in 1994, moving production to India, where she discovered the unlimited scope of craftsmanship and the cultural value of the rug. They continue to manufacture our rugs in India, Pakistan, and Nepal today, with an unwavering respect for tradition and the environment.
They have been working with Care & Fair, an organisation founded in 1994 to combat child labour and improve the lives of rug manufacturers and their families in India and Pakistan, since 2002. Care & Fair has funded the Amita Vidyalaya school in Bhadohi through the Kala project, as well as health centres in collaboration with other companies in the sector, with the financial support of nanimarquina.
17. Nilufar
Discovering, overcoming, and creating. Nina Yashar believes in the importance of design in telling stories. In 1979, she established Nilufar Gallery in Milan. The Gallery expanded its headquarters in via della Spiga in 1999, under the direction of Italian designer GianCarlo Montebello. The first decade of the new century saw a series of experiments and contaminations that bolstered the Gallery’s reputation as a reference point for historical and contemporary design enthusiasts.
Nina Yashar opened Nilufar Depot in 2015 in a building that used to house a cutlery factory. This large space of 1,500 square metres, arranged over three levels with a layout inspired by Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, seats a portion of Yashar’s extensive design collection in an atmosphere that allows contemporary design to find a harmonious connection with iconic pieces of historical design.
Nilufar Gallery presents collaborations and exclusive projects by contemporary designers every year.
The constant search for vintage rarities and contemporary masterpieces only strengthens Nilufar’s position at the forefront of the international design scene.
18. Platinum Custom Rugs

21. Atelier Tapis Rouge

22. Tonino Lamborghini Casa

The stylistic elements supported by high-tech, lightweight, and precious materials add a touch of unique beauty to this collection’s appeal.
23. Woodnotes
Ritva Puotila and her son Mikko Puotila founded the Finnish design company Woodnotes in 1987, and still own the company. Woodnotes’ original concept was to combine artistic creativity inspired by Finland’s rugged nature with valuable craftsmanship and advanced technologies, while utilising basic Finnish raw materials, wood and paper. Woodnotes is the first company in the world to use paper yarn in functional textiles in a modern way. Ritva Puotila wanted to use paper yarn because of its unique properties, not as a substitute for other materials.
