I S SUE 7

SUMMER 2024

In this issue we take a look at the increased focus on production in Afghanistan and report on online retail— what do the public’s rugbuying habits look like in this digital age? The magazine is also full of the latest designs from recent shows such as Milan Design Week and High Point Market

Since Afghanistan has been seen in a negative light for the past couple of decades, it only makes sense to show people that with such diffi culty and despair comes beauty and art. Zubair Ahmadi, Amadi Carpets
