Loribaft rugs are unique works of art that emerge from the long tradition of nomadic rug weaving in Iran and now also in India. They combine rustic origins with modern, clear designs - a harmonious symbiosis of originality and contemporary living. Their speciality lies in the combination of dense knotting, strong new wool and often minimalist, almost graphic patterns. Each Loribaft rug is a unique piece with a handcrafted soul.
Loribaft rugs were originally knotted by the Luren, a nomadic tribe in south-west Iran. Today, the style is mainly cultivated in Iranian provinces such as Fars and Khuzestan, but also in selected workshops in India. Loribaft variants from India are particularly popular, as they are made with high-quality highland wool and combine modern designs with traditional knotting skills. Despite the geographical expansion, the knotting tradition remains deeply rooted - in the symbolism, the natural colours and the quality of the materials.
A Loribaft rug is immediately recognisable by its clear, almost calm design. Unlike many Persian rugs, which are characterised by floral ornaments and rich details, Loribaft rugs have a reduced and grounded appearance. They are often monochrome or discreetly striped, sometimes interspersed with stylised motifs or small symbols such as animals, plants or figures. These patterns are often woven spontaneously - from memory, from tradition, from the moment. The weave is denser than that of Gabbeh rugs, which gives them a particularly firm and high-quality feel.
A key quality feature of Loribaft rugs is the new wool used. This generally comes from highland sheep and is particularly rich in fat and lanolin, making it soft but also extremely hard-wearing. The colours are created from purely vegetable or mineral dyes - from rich red and earthy tones to blue, green or natural beige. This not only gives the rugs a lively, warm character, but also makes them safe for health and sustainably produced.
A Loribaft rug is suitable for many living areas thanks to its robustness and calm appearance. In the living room it looks inviting, in the bedroom it brings warmth, in the hallway it impresses with its durability. It also cuts a fine figure under the dining table or in the home office - its simple elegance allows it to harmonise with a wide variety of furniture and materials. What's more, many models can be used on both sides, which further extends their service life.
While Gabbeh rugs are often more loosely knotted and more colourful in design, Loribaft is clearer, denser and generally calmer in design. Compared to Ziegler rugs - which are more heavily ornamented and floral - Loribafts appear more modern, simple and authentic. So if you are looking for originality combined with modern purism, a Loribaft is an excellent choice.
