Two photos from my previous Paris home celebrating Anatolian felts from & my dear cat Adam ๐โโฌ Join us on April 26th by free registering for GROUNDED IN HOPE โค๏ธ Featuring designers, artists, writers and curators, this special edition coincides with the 2026 Salone del Mobile, and with the year being declared by the UN as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.
Rugs have been important carriers of hope for centuries. Whether woven in regional communities, travelling in nomadic caravans or preciously packed by migrants, they have consistently acted as blueprints for defining home and have even mapped out societies. Today, rugs embrace texture and identity like never before, but most importantly, they ground us at a time when we need it most. The next World Hope Forum therefore takes a look at the federating power of weaving and tufting as interfaces for communicating craft, culture and care. An interwoven Hope Forum that brings together diverse voices, sharing inspiring stories from around the world experienced like taking a magic carpet ride! โค๏ธ
