The Thousand Motifs” was an attempt to make the impossible possible:
to gather a vast collection of motifs representing the culture and art of Iran from Persepolis, its busts and column capitals, to mythical creatures, khattai and Shah-Abbasi floral patterns,birds, animals, and even the depths of silent waters and the expanse of the galaxy.
In the design process, the sky was the limit and after repeated sketches, these elements were arranged within an all encompassing layout,
a fusion of lachak-o-toranj and asymmetry, set into an imaginative order that allowed a free and boundless world to emerge.

This carpet was created in two versions:
one with 80 knots per span, requiring five years of weaving and another unique version with 100 knots and seven years of work.
“The Thousand Motifs” became one of the finest and most intricate modern carpets of Iran.
a singular work with more than a thousand motifs, 100colors and thousands of precious moments spent living with art.
It is the largest project of Lâhiji Carpet, the distilled essence of their collective dream, finally settled into warp and weft.
