The story goes that the magic of Kerman rugs goes back to about the year 1500: during the 16^th C the inhabitants of this part of central Iran, lying between mountains and the Lut Desert, were masters at weaving rugs of extraordinary sizes and designs. This old tradition regained popularity in the 19 century, turning Kerman into one of Persia's main rug producing areas once again. Martí Guixé, a visionary with a conceptual and unconventional take on design, has breathed new life into the classic Kerman rug, recreating the mythical pictorial motifs of birds, flowers, horses and deer that appear and disappear…like ghosts.
