Artisan Textile Studio
Ali Madani Studio crafts bespoke rugs, tapestries, and decorative textiles using virgin wool, organic cotton, and natural dyes. Each piece is woven by hand on traditional looms, blending time-honored techniques with a contemporary eye for color and form.
Custom Rugs
Bespoke sizes and patterns for residential and commercial interiors.
Decorative Tapestries
Woven wall pieces that bring texture and warmth to any room.
Interior Design Collaboration
Color palette and texture consultation for ongoing projects.
Every commission begins with a conversation about your space, your light, and how you live in it. From there, we develop a palette and pattern language unique to you.
Our Mission
Ali Madani Studio exists to keep traditional loom techniques alive while adapting them to contemporary interiors. We work slowly, deliberately, and with respect for the fibers we use.
Our commitment is straightforward: honest materials, transparent timelines, and a finished piece that carries the character of the person who wove it.
We source virgin wool and organic cotton from trusted suppliers, prepare natural dyes in small batches, and inspect every knot at each stage of production. No shortcuts, no synthetic substitutes.
Each commission begins with a conversation about your space—its light, its proportions, the way you live in it—before a single thread is chosen.
A clear production schedule from the first sketch to the final delivery. We share progress updates and welcome your feedback during the weaving process, so the piece evolves with your input.
The result is a rug or tapestry that fits not just your floor plan, but the atmosphere you want to create—something that will age gracefully and remain relevant for decades.
We see each commission as a collaboration between the client, the designer, and the weaver. The patterns we develop—whether geometric or organic—are not arbitrary; they respond to the architecture of your room and the textures already present in your furniture and finishes.
This approach turns a functional object into a quiet statement about how you choose to surround yourself.

Natural Dyes
Exploring the palette of plant-based colors in contemporary weaving.
Natural dyes bring a unique depth and character to handwoven textiles, with colors that evolve gracefully over time. This article traces the journey from raw plant materials to the dye bath, highlighting traditional techniques used in the studio. We discuss the challenges of achieving consistent shades and the beauty of subtle variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind. Whether you're a collector or a designer, understanding natural dyes enriches your appreciation of artisanal craftsmanship.

How geometric motifs reflect the textures and rhythms of arid terrains.
Geometric patterns have long been a language of storytelling in textile art. This post examines how desert landscapes—dunes, canyons, and oases—translate into bold, rhythmic motifs on the loom. We look at the interplay of light and shadow in woven structures, and how designers adapt traditional patterns for modern interiors. Through examples from recent studio projects, we show how geometry can anchor a space while adding visual warmth.

A tactile guide to choosing the right fibers for your custom piece.
The choice of fiber determines not only the look but the entire feel of a handwoven rug. Virgin wool offers resilience and a soft, springy texture, while organic cotton brings breathability and a smoother hand. This guide walks through the characteristics of each material, how they age, and what to consider for high-traffic areas versus cozy corners. We also share insights from our weavers on how fiber blends affect the weaving process and the final drape.
Read the articleStraightforward answers about materials, timelines, and how commissions work.
Production time depends on size, pattern complexity, and the number of weavers assigned to your piece. A typical 2x3 meter rug with a geometric design takes roughly six to ten weeks. We provide a clear schedule before work begins and update you at each stage, from dyeing to finishing.
Yes. Every commission starts with a consultation where we discuss your space, existing palette, and preferences. We prepare physical yarn samples and pattern sketches so you can see and feel the options before weaving begins. Adjustments to color intensity or motif scale are easier to make at this stage.
We work primarily with virgin wool and organic cotton, both sourced from trusted suppliers. For dyeing, we use natural pigments derived from plants, roots, and insects. If you have sensitivities or specific preferences, we can discuss alternative fibers or undyed options.
We regularly collaborate with interior designers and businesses on rugs, tapestries, and wall pieces for hotels, offices, and retail spaces. For larger orders, we can coordinate multiple looms and staggered delivery dates to match your project timeline.
Regular vacuuming and rotating the rug every few months will keep it looking fresh. For spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth and avoid rubbing. We recommend professional cleaning every two to three years, depending on foot traffic. Each piece comes with a care card specific to its fibers and dyes.
Send us a message through the contact page with your room dimensions, a few reference photos, and any ideas you have in mind. We will reply within two business days to schedule a consultation and discuss the details of your project.
