Hepsi rugs at Loom, Melbourne

Loom Rugs and Textiles opened its doors in 2006, but the brand has a much deeper heritage. The owner and creator, Doan Bilgis, comes from a family of rug-makers in Turkey, and says that he "fell into this business". It is fair to say that he has taken the tradition quite a few steps further: Loom is the avant-garde of the rug world.

Loom's three key ranges each revitalise vintage rugs and craft traditions for a contemporary market. Hepsi rugs are patchworked creations made from vintage pieces. These rugs employ the simple technique of patching together rugs originating from diverse locations and historical backgrounds.
