Dubai Designer Pallavi dean & Ana Carreras have launched the "Metramorphosis" carpet range in collaboration with Zuleya in support of women and families in Afghanistan.
The Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative was founded in 2010. It is a joint venture between HH Sheikah Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed of Abu Dhabi and Tanweer Investments in Afghanistan.
The social enterprise was originally established to initiate a change in the stark realities of Afghanistan’s women and children.
FBMI invests locally in healthcare, education, numerous social and economic reforms; and provides employment in the ancient art of hand-knotted carpet making.
The carpet, handwoven by women artisans in Afghanistan, is inspired by butterflies of the UAE and Afghanistan, including the Indian Red Admiral and Eastern Pale Clouded Yellow. It’s a modular carpet, designed to adapt to a range of spaces, from offices and hotels to homes and schools.
Zuleya by FBMI, is committed to creating handmade carpets that set the benchmark in terms of sustainability and design for generations to come, which is why collaborating with award-winning designers, such as Pallavi Dean, is an opportunity to do just that – raising the bar, one knot at a time, for both traditional and modern craftsmanship.
