About the Designer - Amir Loloi and his Vision

Amir Loloi’s passion for textiles has brought him across the globe in search of experienced designers in places such as India in order to craft area rugs. In many ways, Loloi has breathed new life into old age textiles in the creation of his area rugs. All of his rugs are made in places such as India, Turkey, and other countries in the Middle East. Loloi takes the time to sit with the craftsmen who inspire his area rugs and collaborate with them. He takes time learning about their culture and where these designs come from, then works with them to create these meticulously influenced rugs.

How Loloi Crafts His Area Rugs

Depending on the collection, Loloi Area Rugs uses wool, polypropylene or the perfect blend of other synthetic materials. Amir Loloi is no stranger to knowing what is needed to make a durable and stylish rug.

Polypropylene

You may question why Polypropylene is used in the creation of these area rugs. Polypropylene is actually a very eco-friendly material that can be recycled. So not only are these rugs completely stunning, but they are good for the environment too! Polypropylene is also water-resistant, which makes cleaning messes on these rugs much easier, and won’t cause damage to your floors.
