Her Majesty’s Design of the Year Award
Here at the Nazmiyal Blog, we are passionate about more than just the timeless beauty of antique Oriental rugs. In fact, we have a wide array of interests. Most especially, we are interested in good design and the positivity that comes along with it. Design is of course all around us – almost everything that we interact with — all day, every day — is the product of a carefully thought out process of design and manufacture. Those items that are well-designed tend to make us happy or increase our productivity in a subtle, often indescribable way. And those things that are masterfully designed possess a very special characteristic: they don’t seem to be designed at all. They intuitively work, making our interaction with them seamless and fluid.
