In Persian, the word Gabbeh means raw, natural and uncut. A namesake synonymous with the green movement, these rugs live up to the reputation. Made of handspun wool and vegetable dyes, they are as organic as it gets. But their all natural appeal doesn’t distract from their luxury. Gabbeh rugs are made with extra high pile, giving them a thick, soft feel.

Famed for their playful, traditional styles, these Persian rugs were designed for everyday home use. Because they remained uninfluenced by mass market trends and never wavered from their eco-friendly roots, Gabbehs earned a category all to themselves, something Jason Nazmiyal recognized nearly 20 years ago.

Bringing the first exhibition of Gabbeh carpets to the United States, Nazmiyal uncovered the soul and story of these antique rugs to collectors, interior designers and environmentalists alike. It was an introduction that blossomed into a following that continues to grow today, just like Nazmiyal’s inspired collection of Gabbeh carpets.
