Obeetee’s Rubab Collection : A Melange of Antiquity, Modernity and Seasoned Skill
Loomed by hand, The Rubab Collection from Obeetee depicts tessellated patterns inspired from Islamic architecture, encapsulating the modern layout and motifs in pure silk. The precision of knotting lends beautiful definition that’s softened by the striated shading of the pure silk yarns. This hand-knotted collection celebrates the authentic character of antique carpets, re-envisioned from a modern point of view. The sketched motifs are updated on a relaxed scale, in a polished distressed silk rug. These versatile rugs evoke the patina and textural transitions imparted by generations of use!
