atelier LAMIS, ZINA floor art, organic modern colorful hand knotted rug

LAMIS / ‘ lah·mees / noun 1. a female name of Arabic origin that means ‘soft to the touch’ or ‘soft to the hand’ LAMIS is a textile atelier specializing in handmade wool and silk floor art and tapestries LAMIS creates one-of-a-kind products by fusing modern design with traditional rug making techniques. Each piece begins with a custom selected color palette and high-quality raw materials, like sheep’s wool or bamboo silk. The materials are then hand-dyed, hand-spun, hand-woven, hand-knotted or hand-tufted by our artisan manufacturers in Jordan and Egypt. Our collections notably place color center stage. By leveraging a maximalist aesthetic, LAMIS explores intuitive interpretations of subconscious, organized chaos, and fluid geometric forms. All with an innate sense of play. This allows every rug to be as fun as it is timeless — evoking the joy, wonder, and freedom of our inner child. We’re proud to partner with KAHHAL1871, the luxury home of contemporary and heritage hand-knotted rugs in Egypt for over five generations. In addition to hand-knotting, KAHHAL1871’s artisans also specialize in loom-weaving — an ancient Egyptian tradition that’s been in practice since the time of the pharaohs. The historic significance of these processes, juxtaposed with LAMIS’s modern design sensibilities, elevates our collection into a refreshingly vibrant cultural ode.
