What Is a Chobi Carpet?
A significant part of our contemporary carpet collection features Chobi rugs — a distinctive style that deserves a closer look:
- Origin:The word ‘Chobi’ comes from the Dari word for ‘wood colour’ referring to the soft, natural vegetable dye palette used in these rugs.
- Afghan heritage: Chobi carpets originate from Afghanistan and are woven using traditional Afghan weaving techniques adapted for contemporary tastes.
- Double-knot construction:Our Chobi rugs are double-knotted meaning two knots per warp thread, creating a denser, more durable pile than standard hand-knotted rugs.
- Vegetable dyes: Natural plant-based dyes give Chobi carpets their distinctive soft, earthy palette colours that mellow beautifully with age.
- Contemporary patterns: Classic floral and geometric motifs reimagined in softer tones for modern interiors
