Amini Carpets, a passion for the art of weaving

This anniversary allowed us to stop and take time to reflect on the history of our company, which is closely linked to the history of our family and the relationships we’ve built over the years with different cultures and markets. It tells the story of our accomplishments, made possible thanks to all our collaborators and partners, who I hope will stay with us on this fascinating journey. 

Carpets are in themselves a means of expressing one’s own artistic, cultural and decorative vision through a multitude of designs, colours and shapes and it’s hard not to be enthusiastic and enchanted. In our case, carpet-making has always been part of our lives and our business choices.  

All these factors co-exist very happily. They are the core of our business and lend a distinct personality to our carpets as well as an artisan feel. A fascinating amalgam of design, innovation and ancient traditions that allow us to propel our business into the future.   

Amini represents our most skilful master weavers, and its mission is to explore the potential of hand-woven carpets in the design and furnishing world. I think this is why collections such as Design Icons and Contemporary represent our identity even more greatly. They include exclusive carpets, born of the marriage of 20th century and contemporary design. Testament to this are the chefs d’oeuvre based on designs by Joe Colombo, Fede Cheti, René Gruau, Gabetti&Isola, Ico Parisi, Giò Ponti and Manlio Rho, and our collaborations with immensely talented designers and artists such as Altherr Desile Park, Rodolfo Dordoni, Carlotta Fortuna, Antonio Marras and Elisa Ossino.

Elisa Ossino knows our world inside out and has an extraordinary feel for textile finishes. The research and projects that he is carrying out in tandem with our internal design team will undoubtedly be an important interpretation of contemporary carpets.  

For us, sustainability means respecting and recognising the value of the people and places involved in the production and marketing of our pieces. This is reflected in every area of our work, from the natural raw materials used to make the carpets to the new methods developed to improve the various production processes, right down to guaranteeing good working conditions and decent wages, including in the countries of origin of our products and our partners and suppliers of raw materials.

We are fully satisfied with the work done over the last few years and wish to continue to grow our company organically, especially in markets in which we do not yet have a presence.
