Rhinestone 3, Glitch Gabbehs Collection, SoFarSoNear Studio Milan for Zollanvari , 2022
Zollanvari Fine Gabbeh

To mark our Diamond Jubilee, we wanted to create a gem-like contemporary Gabbeh with deep roots in traditional south Persian tribal designs. Triple diamond-shaped medallions on plain or striped grounds are most recurrent in the weavings of the Ghashgha’i, Luri and Afshar nomads. SoFar SoNear took this reference and created an ingenious design for the jewel in the crown of the Glitch Gabbehs Collection. Erratic and cracked allotropes seemingly fly across a field of bold colour bands (another typical Gabbeh design) … almost like kites overflying an ‘Aladaglar’ landscape. These multiple gems in varying sizes have come to be our ‘diamonds in the sky’ shining brightly in celebration of our 75th Anniversary. And on the floor… well, it feels like walking in heaven.
