After almost 5 years of discussion and development, the collection arrived to Behruz Studio in March 2015

For this project, Behruz selected the most skilled weavers from the workshop. Although all weavers are very talented, some have a finer hand and due to the complexity in the designs this was an important asset to have.

While the yarns are being prepared, the loom for each rug is built specifically for the size of the rug to be woven.

The yarns used throughout this collection are pure New Zealand Wool and Pure Natural Silk. The yarns arrive to the workshop in their raw form.

It was Amir, from Behruz Studio, who was in charge of ensuring all elements of design from each artwork were captured with the right movement and colour placement.

One of the most time consuming tasks for this project was colour matching every colour which exists in the original artworks.
