You just launched a line of rugs, can you tell us a bit about that?
Yes, my rug line is called Afera meaning “colour of the earth.” This line is influenced by Islamic architecture. Being a Muslim I found this to be close to my heart and I have always felt that the motifs found in Islamic architecture would work so well in modern spaces due to their geometry and symmetry. I have come up with four different designs. The colour choices are bold but I think they would be the perfect addition to any room and provide the right amount of texture and colour. All of the rugs are hand knotted in Nepal and made of wool.
