Rug Journey of Frank Gehry’s Puzz Rug Journey of Frank Gehry’s Puzz Step Three: Warping the Loom Step Four: Weaving Step Five: Quality Control The warp and weft is the foundation for all rugs. Cotton is strung from the top to the bottom of the loom to form the warp. Knots are tied to the warp and the weft is added horizontally. The weavers sit along the width of the rug and use the graph as a guide to make knots in the specified color. Once the knot is tied, it is cut off and forms the pile. On a weekly basis, an Afghan ARZU rug monitor comes into the artisan’s home to check on the status...

INTRODUCING THE MASTERS COLLECTION ARZU STUDIO HOPE’s Masters Collection encompasses the work of six internationally renowned architects who have donated their time and designs in support of ARZU’s mission to empower the women of Afghanistan. Frank Gehry “Our process for developing the rug graphic was similar to how we approach architecture. We began by looking at our sculptural studies for a pop-up store that was composed of large curved puzzle pieces. The challenge was how to translate a three dimensional object into a two dimensional graphic. Through a series of back and forth...

Photo: Steve Double Zaha Hadid “A seamless domestic environment, depicted in perspective as a series of cuts through time and space, has been woven into this rug, evoking a new typology of living in the future.” Michael Graves “In all my rugs and tapestry designs, I have tried to make a composition that has no horizon line. In other words, it has no up and no down; all sides are up and all sides are down, so that there is a balance in the composition. I do this with the intention that when a person walks into the room and sees the rug from a number of viewpoints, they still feel the rug is...

Margaret McCurry “Magnifying the size of an abstractly conceived tribal symbol allows one to perceive the shapes alternately as simply geometric patterns with all their associational ancestry or, on another architectural level, to imagine the images as remnants of an ancient desert dwelling or fortification. And then on a strictly sensual level the subtle strié of the wool strands attests not only to the hand loomed quality of the rugs, but to the individuality of their wooly coated contributors.” Robert A.M. Stern “The volutes of an Ionic capital interweave with unfurling tendrils to...

Stanley Tigerman - "Geometric patterning has a long and distinguished tradition in Moorish history as informed by the 12th century Andalusian philosopher Aver roes (Ibn Rushd). These geometric designs evoke long-lost millennial tribal customs. That they are woven by Afghan women is a natural part of that tradition."

Specification & Facts • ARZU STUDIO HOPE rugs are hand-knotted with 100% sheep’s wool on steel looms in the homes of our weavers. • Wool is hand-dyed with natural materials whenever possible, including madder root for red, walnut husks for brown and pomegranate for yellow. Synthetic dyes are used as necessary to achieve colors that cannot be produced with natural materials. • Hand-spun wool absorbs dye unevenly to produce variegated color, known as abrash. This charming irregularity is a hallmark of rugs handmade from natural dyes. • Depending on the weave type and intricacy of the pattern,...
