Founder’s/Owner’s story and what motivated them to start the business

While working in Kashmir as an Art therapist, Dena the founder was introduced to weavers producing exquisite silk rugs with traditional Persian designs. Impressed by the weavers’ tremendous skill and feeling a deep connection to people and place, she commissioned a series of dynamic silk rugs based on her exuberant artwork: intricate patterns, bold colour, and a nod to the traditional craftsmanship of the region. The result is a luxurious collection of designer art rugs that are as beautiful as they are unique. Each rug is a work of art, handmade with the highest quality materials and attention to detail. Whether placed in a formal living room or used as a statement piece in a more casual setting, these artistic rugs add a touch of luxury to any space. 

Dena has always been passionate about luxury designer rugs and saw an opportunity to create a new concept using her paintings. Dena wanted to bring a unique style of rug to the industry that would invigorate and affect the feelings of the person who owns the rug. I am also motivated by the fact that I can support and up skill the weavers in Kashmir. I believe that by creating a beautiful object with magnificent colours and design, I can help make people’s homes more luxurious and inviting. I am confident that my passion and motivation will allow me to succeed in this business venture.
