2020 is the year of the rat. In Chinese culture, rats are a sign of wealth and surplus. They are quick, clever thinkers, successful but content with living a peaceful life. So let us hope for peace & prosperity this year! Happy Chinese New Year 🧧! #chinesenewyear

Daydreaming about this place taken by @omidarmin. What a way to start off the day by sipping tea in the cafe under the sun, then continuing on to the bazaar beyond the arched stone walls! What would you do if you were there?

Iznik ceramics and tiles adorned beautiful palaces during the Ottoman era. The tulip motif is often found in modern day textiles, home goods and artwork. Tulip is the symbol of perfect love and, therefore, we chose that floral as the focal point of our 2020 new collection, as we continue our journey across the Silk Road. We mixed different shades of blues as well as floral and geometric prints in our styled shoots, so stay tuned as we introduce our 2020 silk road collection

We have an obsession with fabrics, colors, patterns, and textures, so it is no wonder that our favorite hangout is at the fabric store where different fabrics serve as the base for our styled tablescapes. These are a few that we used to adorn our Shisha Collection, which we will be introducing for the first time at the National Stationary Show in New York! We will be posting sneak peaks as we get closer to our launch! So stay tuned!

Everything around us inspires our designs. ⁠ ⁠ This year as we journey around the Silk Road, we chose Indian as a stop, because of its wide array of textiles and motifs. We did not go for paisleys but chose Shisha mirrored embroidery for our 2020 collection. This technique was introduced during the Mughal Empire in the 17th Century. ⁠ ⁠ What inspired your creativity?

It is no wonder that classic blue was the chosen pantone color for 2020. Blue is a classic and is timeless. One can never get sick of it. Do you agree?

So many places to visit, so little time. Last year we were inspired by Marrakesh, a dreamy place on our bucket list. What places would you like to visit in 2020?

2019 was the year we launched the Marrakesh Collection, as we started our creative journey to timeless designs, inspired by world cultures. With the spirit of celebrating world cultures, we will be introducing new designs from the silk road, a trade route that connected people and cultures, so stay tuned for the introduction of a whole new world of entertainment for you!⁠

Our collection in 2019 was inspired by Marrakesh, a place of rich colors, arches, alleys and geometric motif. 2020 will take a different turn with floral motif. Stay tuned! #marrakesh #moroccandesign

Wishing 2020 to be a year of peace, love, compassion, and empathy for all humanity.
