Gabbeh rugs are made by Gashgai and Lori nomads in the Fars province, around Shiraz. The rugs were originally used for sleeping, as they have a higher pile for warmth. The uneven, hand-spun, lanolin-rich wool gives Gabbeh a typical grainy surface texture. Many rugs have natural cream, brown, and gray tones. The red, yellow, green, and blue colors are made with plant dyes. Most Gabbehs are simple; when motifs are shown, they are stylized patterns from the daily lives of the nomads. Goats, camels, dogs, plants, and people are common motifs.

Siblings Vida and Amin combine their passion for craftsmanship and contemporary design to curate unique, handmade carpets. The pieces are knotted and woven by talented weavers, some of whom still live as nomads and use traditional handcrafting techniques on wooden looms. Their knowledge, experience, and individual style are incorporated into every piece. Each rug is made from natural vintage materials and yarn, authentic, timeless, and telling its own unique story. At COCOLI, you will find handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces from Rugtales—designed with attention to detail and created to enrich any space.
