From deconstructed Iranian design handwoven in Nepal, to richly restored maple, we’re looking forward to presenting beautiful ideas for luxury flooring at this year’s fair.
Illulian
Founded in 1960, Illulian is known for producing handmade, antique rugs made in Himalayan wool and pure silk. They believe the charm and appeal of their designs are behind their growing success; and guarantee that each of their designs are unique, and will never be mass produced. “It is important for Illulian as a brand to be present at Downtown Design this year,” says Owner, Bendis Illulian. “This special showcase will allow us to meet all existing and new clients, as well as presenting new pieces to trade professionals from across the Middle East Market. Dubai is a growing city, especially in this sector. That’s why we feel it’s essential to take part in this exhibition.”
