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.

Iwan Maktabi has collaborated with
different names in the design industry

another and is nestled under Iwan

include:
“Let me take another look” with Karim
Chaaya

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

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.
