4 WE BELIVE IN CARPET DIEM

Our beautiful hand-knotted rugs are the result of a lengthy work process that involves a great many steps. The craftsmanship of making modern rugs takes place in small villages in India, typically in the Uttar Pradesh region in northern India near the Ganges River. Most often, it is in the small communities where the process of manufacturing the unique rugs begins. The raw material is either wool or viscose, which is spun into gorgeous yarns used by the experienced rug knotters. On old-fashioned looms, they transform the beautiful materials into stunning rugs. Knotting rugs is a complicated job and the process can take several months. A rug that has undergone the knotting process looks far from finished. The yarns and knots have not been through the finishing process and the colours do not resemble those of the final palette. After knotting, the rugs are washed in a very simple and traditional method under open skies with WE EXPECT EVERYONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE DETAILS AND LOVE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AS MUCH AS WE DO REZA REJAYE WE KNOW HOW TO DO THINGS RIGHT clean water and the use of traditional tools. This causes all excess colour to be washed out and the yarns take on a smooth and soft texture. When the washing process is complete, the rugs are dried in the sun. The rugs are stretched on wooden frames and often laid on roofs and large terraces to dry. It s an incredibly beautiful sight to look out over the small towns with carpeted roofs and terraces. Drying the rugs in the strong sun helps to bring depth to the colours and patterns. When the rugs have dried, skilled rug trimmers go to work with small scissors to adjust the rug to size. This is done very carefully and with concentration, and it is here that the rugs truly obtain their exclusive appearance. Our buyers then individually select the rugs that will join Reza s collection of unique hand-knotted rugs. 5

WHAT IS GENUINE DAMASK? The Damask collection from Reza s Oriental & Modern Rugs is a fantastic series of unique rugs that are hand-knotted with their own distinctive features. There is a wide palette of variants and the possibilities are diverse. Our designers behind the collection constantly strive to renew and inspire. The result is an incredibly vibrant collection in a fabulous mix of patterns and colours. The collection has both classic patterns inspired by different eras and completely modern designs inspired by contemporary trends. The skilled artisans who create the Damask patterns spend several months on each rug and the yarns are selected with great care. Often the yarns are selected in smaller batches, causing the rug to develop effects that match the real genuine rugs. These rugs can also be obtained in special measurements. Everything is managed with colour and design codes that ensure control in the manufacturing of these unique rugs. TRUST YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS Reza s is a story of trust. This is true of the suppliers, employees and the women who weave our rugs in countries such as Iran, Pakistan and India. It is certainly true of the trust awarded to us by customers over the past 25 years. Trust is about quality. We are consistently selected as a supplier because we have the ability to spot trends and source high quality rugs that match contemporary needs. The Damask, Vintage Royal and Patchwork are examples from recent years. For 25 years, we have collaborated with large multinational chains and small niche boutiques alike. For us it is important that we give everyone the same treatment. We attribute our current leading position in oriental rugs to our ambitious and systematic work to ensure quality, environmental protection and good working conditions. And, not least, the cooperation with IKEA and their comprehensive code of ethics and the environment is the reason why we can boast the industry s most environmental and humane profile. 10

LIFE OFTEN DOESN T GO AS EXPECTED Reza s Oriental & Modern Rugs has gone from a small storage room to Northern Europe s largest importer. It s nothing less than an adventure in which the oriental and European worlds have interacted in the most beautiful way. That history should evolve in the way it did was foreseen by nobody when Reza s Oriental & Modern Rugs came into being on a cold December day in 1991. A rented van, a storage room, and Reza as the only man at the helm. From that point, things moved quickly. As early as the second customer s visit, an order was placed. An order worth DKK 56,000. In just one visit, we reached Reza s budget for the entire month. We have been fortunate and we are diligent. For example, we became a lifesaver for the Magasin department store when they suddenly were stuck with 1,000 moth-eaten rugs from their former supplier. In less than 24 hours, we provided rugs of such high quality that future cooperation with Magasin and other large European retail chains was established. 15

16 Shangri La, Sunrise available in sizes from 170 x 240 cm to 300 x 400 cm

WHAT AND WHERE IS SHANGRI LA? The mythical place Shangri La in the mountains of Tibet is the source of inspiration for this collection. The myth of Shangri La is long and whether it is a myth or reality is relegated to the unknown. But over time, Shangri La has come to signify an untouched, hidden place with a wise and happy population. The patterns are beautiful and atmospheric. The bright colour scheme is inspired by the Kunlun Mountains, where the city of Shangri La was located, according to the legend. Although the myth is ancient, our Shangri La collection s contemporary appearance, bright colours and beautiful patterns are easily incorporated into most homes. The Shangri La collection is comprised of high quality hand-knotted rugs crafted from wool and viscose. LESS IS MORE BUT GET THE RIGHT SIZE OF RUG ANYWAY 17
