Taher Asad-Bakhtiari Rugs and Carpets

Iranian, b. 1982

Self-taught Iranian artist Taher Asad-Bakhtiari became a prominent representative of Persian crafts and culture when his tribal-inspired tapestries and other unique objects drew attention worldwide. From understated, beautiful resin-coated barrels, to Persian carpets and kilims rich in symbolism, his work is a masterclass in expressing a contemporary perspective while celebrating ancestral tradition.

Son of a Bakhtiari tribal member, Asad-Bakhtiari grew up with a deep pride in family identity in a household filled with huge carpets and antique furniture. He later studied multimedia and management in Canada and Switzerland. His time there led to a career running his own catering company. The company expanded rapidly thanks to Asad-Bakhtiari’s eye for detail and decoration — qualities that would define his design style. 

Learning art by scratch allowed Asad-Bakhtiari to develop his own approach. His Archer collection, composed of seven individual designs, perfectly represents a contemporary take on tribal motifs.

Asad-Bakhtiari transformed his home in Dubai into a gallery-like showcase of his creations and collected pieces including rare Persian textiles and his favorite Cartier watches. It is a space vibrant with a wide range of influences that inspires his bold designs. He has been featured in Architectural Digest Middle East and Vogue, which covered his Recovered Barrels project and Archer collection.
