Proud To Be Indian

Bringing the Loom into the Modern Indian Context

Having worked with a plethora of carpet design traditions that are dominated by Indo-Persia, Indo-Nepal & Indo-China influences, we felt the time had come to showcase the milieu of design that is Indian culture.

Looking to our country’s celebrated designers to reinvent the loom, Obeetee launches the Proud To Be Indian campaign – a movement that translates our colourful tapestry of design & artistry into the modern Indian context. The crème of India’s creative talent, together with Obeetee’s most skilled weavers render an inspired series of the modern Indian carpet.

Renowned for his aesthetic of inspired reinvention, Tarun Tahiliani helms the first series of this campaign with his quintessential aesthetic of understated opulence. The three collections that span his series reflect the distinct nuances of Lucknavi Chikankari, Rajasthani Miniature Paintings & his Original Abstract Art. Each creation unravelling a hand-woven work that pays tribute to indigenous India, as it tells its own story.

Obeetee is proud to partner with Abraham & Thakore to make rugs that represent design, material and craftsmanship that are local, yet exceptional in heritage and quality. We collaborated with Abraham & Thakore because we were attracted to their unique sensibilities, which are both cutting-edge yet tied intricately to India’s ethos
