Iranians have always been interested in using handmade carpets in their homes and have tried to give more beauty and warmth to their homes by employing this unique art. The Iranian handmade carpet is a symbol of art, genius, culture, and originality. Iranians have been pioneers in carpet weaving who, over time, with care, creativity, and taste, have brought this art to a level of perfection that can be considered as a representative of Iranian culture and art. The creation of such a masterpiece is only achieved through painstaking attention to details of the Iranian artists and the dexterousness with which their fingers work. One of these diligent artists who has proven himself as an eminent carpet-weaver domestic and internationally is “Soheil Bigdeli.” Soheil Bigdeli (with the real name “Mohammad Reza Bigdeli) was born on September 2, 1979, in Qom. Soheil Bigdeli is counted as one the brightest newfound faces of Qom Handmade Silk Carpet firm. Qom is a religious and venerable city near Tehran, the capital of Iran. The carpet weaving industry in this city was officially started about 80 years ago.

this city. One of the biggest carpet weaving
associations in Iran is the “Timcheh group.” Timcheh

Like other mindful artists, Soheil Bigdeli constantly visits International art galleries. According to his observations, he thinks Iranian handmade carpets are fading away from foreign art galleries. In Soheil Bigdeli’s opinion, the key to increasing Iranian handmade carpets shares in the home and office furniture market is to consider and implement the taste and the preference of clients when designing and weaving the carpets. Therefore, market research and development are among the most urgent duties of those who work in the carpet industry. Another solution is suitable marketing and advertising. With these solutions, distinguished decorators can get familiar with Iranian handmade carpets and consider these precious artworks in their decorations.
