REVEALING
The The The
By Nader Bolour
Old… New… Future! Monograph
The Old Finding unique and timeless rugs has always been a challenge, more so now, to suit modern interiors and the taste of younger designers and architects who now cater to a younger clientele. The challenge allows us to break new grounds and envision antique rugs in a dierent light. This chapter is a glimpse into my ongoing search for uniqueness and innovation. Nader Bolour

Our excitement comes from the knowledge of not knowing. The mystery of this is enticing and rewarding. Our reward comes in the surprise in what will happen and how we will adapt our existing and color palette to it. As the Creative Director, I cannot wait to see how it unfolds. Suzan Izsak
