Hj. Hussein Maktabi, patriarch of the

Maktabi family in Lebanon, immigrated

from Isphahan to Beirut in 1926.

Like his father before him, his passion

was collecting fine oriental carpets. His

arrival in Lebanon represented a new

source of knowledge and expertise

about this treasured art form. Since

that time, Hj. Hussein and his sons have

undoubtedly become premier purveyors

of antique and decorative carpets in the

Middle East.

They spread their services from Riyadh

and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia to the Gulf

area and from Zurich in Switzerland to

the rest of Europe.

With the support of his father Abbas

Maktabi, Mohamed Maktabi and his

sisters, Mona and Chirine, opened the

first Iwan Maktabi gallery in 1995.

Based on three generations of expertise,

and a rich family private collection of

collectible carpets, Iwan Maktabi added

to the depth of people’s appreciation

for carpets in Lebanon and the region,

and proved to be the address for rare

carpets and textile art in the Middle East.

To differentiate themselves from

the market, Iwan Maktabi combined

traditional art with modern

contemporary art by introducing

modern and contemporary high-quality

handmade carpets, an exclusively

representing different carpet firms and

designers such as Jan Kath, Hechizoo

and cc-tapis.

To stay ahead of the industry, Iwan

Maktabi also edits carpets and offers

the ability to custom-design any carpet

through their design studio.

H Jan Kath Is one of the world’s most

in-demand designers of hand-knotted

carpets. He purposely breaks with

conventional styles and throws strict

design rules overboard.

The man from Bochum doesn’t shy away

from combining classic elements from

the oriental carpet with contemporary,

minimalist design. Another major

theme of his current work involves the

interpretation of photorealistic motifs in

textile art, which Kath perfects together

with his carpet weavers.

PIS Born in France. Designed in Milan.

Produced in Nepal.

CC-Tapis is an Italian company which

produces contemporary hand-knotted

rugs which are created in Nepal by

expert Tibetan artisans.

The company was founded by Nelcya

and Fabrizio Cantoni in France who have

been producing hand-knotted rugs in

Nepal for over 17 years. In 2011 cc-tapis

moved to Milan where the company is

now based and a team of designers

innovate through a new approach to

traditional methods.

A strong respect for the materials and

for the culture of this ancient craft is

reflected in the company’s eco-friendly

approach to every step of production,

ranging from the hand spinning of the

softest Himalayan wool to the use of

purified rainwater for the washing of the

final products, making each one of cc-

tapis rugs unique.

Far from mass production, cc-tapis

aims to offer a tailored service to those

who understand and enjoy a high-

end product, where a three month

production time contains a story of

ageless culture.

OO More than 2.500 fibers rest at the

Hechizoo workshop. They lay there,

silently organized in this huge warehouse,

waiting for some weaver’s hands or new

artisanal hands to select them and turn

them into tapestry creation material,

rugs, textiles, and objects that will travel

around the world perpetuating these

techniques and concoctions. Metals such

as copper, silver, bronze and pewter,

nylon, cotton threads, natural fibers

that have been obtained from exotic

woods like yaré and cumare, seem to

be talking among them and making up

an unsuspecting dance of fabrics each

time that Jorge Lizarazo and his team

embark in the creation of a new piece.

The result: fabrics that brag about a

peculiar beauty, that which results from

unexpected blends. The workshop,

located in Bogota, is a sort of New

York-style loft that holds 28 horizontal

and vertical weaving looms created

and adjusted to the size of particular

demands they receive every day. “One

of the largest convictions that gave life to

Hechizoo, was to give people back their

ability to dream, to believe that they can

live from the work performed by their

hands, from the knowledge they learned

from their grandparents, that it was

literally possible to weave their destiny”,

tells the designer.

TS For some projects with high-traffic areas

or reduced delivery time, clients opt for a

tufted-carpet.

Iwan Maktabi offers custom-designed

tufted carpets that would be completely

made to order on the basis of your

preferred colors, design, size, quality &

finish.

For this you can choose a particular

design from Iwan Maktabi’s existing

selections, or amend designs slightly in

terms of color, material and size.

Clients can also provide our Design

Studio with their very own designs and

the team will work on achieving the exact

look.

Your custom-made tufted carpet can

be produced in 4-12 weeks but the exact

delivery schedule would depend on the

size, the specific design, involvement of

colors, quality, etc.

TS Whether you choose Iwan Maktabi, Jan

Kath, Hossein Rezvani or Stepevi, the

process is fundamentally the same. The

end result is a custom designed and

finely manufactured carpet delivered

and installed to the satisfaction of our

clients.

The process begins by meeting IWAN

MAKTABI sales professionals to choose

the design, colors, quality (wool, silk,

viscose, cotton or nettle) either hand

knotted or hand tufted.

Once completed our design studio will

prepare a layout/artwork displaying the

pattern and colors, prior to approving for

production.

The ultimate result is a custom designed

carpet that meets the IWAN MAKTABI’s

standards.

Over the years, we have specialized in

creating superlative masterpieces for

hundreds of our customers who demand

products that are unique, rare and would

be unavailable in regular supply. Hence

the custom ordered craft is offered in

such cases wherein the buyer wants a

carpet to be produced as per his choice

related to colors, designs, sizes, shapes

(square, rectangle, round, etc., motifs,

quality and type that would complement

not just the décor or theme of the place

but would reflect the inherent personality

of the person.

It’s one thing to see a carpet in a gallery,

it’s another to see it at home.

So many factors come into play, whether

it’s light, surrounding, and the overall

mood it has evoked.

The dimensions, pattern, style, and

color of the carpet you choose can

tremendously impact the overall

ambience of your interior, not to mention

your mood.

Various sizes can completely transform

a living area by making it look smaller or

larger, while different colors can create

feelings of serenity, warmth, intimacy, or

even wellness.

Iwan Maktabi’s Trial and Home Delivery

service offers you the possibility to

experiment your favorite selection of

rugs in the space of your choice prior to

any purchase. Our skilled team will also

be ready to assist you in making the right

“carpet” decision

C E R T I F I C A T E

Each Iwan Maktabi carpet comes with

a certificate that clearly states the

age, origin and material of the carpet.

More than ink stamps on paper, our

certificates are an ingrained imprint

of years of hard work, innovation, and

dedication of the people behind it.

This is when customers can benefit

from our cleaning and repairing

service provided for any rug. If you’re

experiencing water or smoke damage,

fluff, color fading, or any undesirable

accident that affected your rug, please

contact the nearest Iwan Maktabi

showroom to order the pick-up and

cleaning of your carpet.
