CRAFTSMANSHIP

Before Design, Before Form, There is Craft

The meeting of mastery and mindfulness that turns
every creation into a lasting expression of beauty

Skilled Artistry, & Dedication To Perfection

The gold standard of rug-making.

Hand-Knotted

Regarded globally as the most revered technique in the world of rugs, hand-knotting is a meditative, intricate process that demands patience, precision, and passion. Each knot is tied by hand, one by one, on a vertical loom. A single large carpet can take several months-or even years-to complete.

Craft meets comfort.

Hand Tufted

A more contemporary technique-yet no less artisanal-hand-tufting blends traditional know-how with modern sensibility. Using a handheld tufting gun, our artisans push wool or silk through a canvas stretched on a frame, shaping intricate patterns with fluid ease.

Textural stories on a flat canvas.

Flat Weave

Known for their reversible nature and clean structure, flat weaves are created without knots. Instead, the weft yarns are tightly interwoven through the warp, creating lightweight, versatile, and durable rugs that are ideal for casual and layered spaces. Whether it’s the tribal charm of a kilim or the geometric play of a dhurrie, flat weaves carry a nomadic spirit while embodying modern adaptability.

Luxury, woven in rhythm.

Handloom

Handloom weaving is a dance between man and machine-except the machine is powered by human hands alone. This technique is known for producing subtle, symmetrical patterns and textures that feel soft underfoot and soothing to the eye.

Carpets crafted in weavers' homes, not factories.

Mirzapur and Bhadohi district are the oldest hub of carpet-weaving in India. It makes up 60 percent of the sub-continents rug-making industry. From our headquarters in Mirzapur, our production officers visit each loom, at least once every fortnight. The looms are spread over 100,000 sq. km., stretching across 7 villages.

Steps in carpet making

1

IDEATION

The process begins by building the story of each collection. This is rooted in our connection with time-honored, colour schemes, and thematic explorations.
2

DESIGN

Our design department, which is the backbone of our rug creation process, has an intimate understanding of the weaving medium and knowledge of contemporary art and design. Combining fresh perspectives on traditional crafts with state-of-the-art design technology, they push the boundaries of colour, texture and pattern to make authentic designs and visual masterpieces.
3

COLOUR

Based on the naksha created, our team of experts makes the colours from an array of pigments to match the design. We have the capabilities to customise colours of up to 100 shades of the same hue. Our research will allow us to add more colour pigments.
4

LAB TESTING

At Obeetee, enormous effort goes into getting the quality right. There are several tests at every stage of the process – from testing the raw material to matching and standardising the colours.
5

DYEING

Different types of fibres need different methods of dyeing. There are over 1000 machines of different capacities. The dyeing procedures are followed in an eco-friendly manner, keeping in mind social accountability.
6

NAKSHA

The naksha serves as the masterplan for a carpet. Although they were previously painted by hand, these are now rendered using state-of-the-art CAD systems.
7

PREPARING THE LOOM

The loom is the foundation of the carpet. The weavers prepare the loom with the predetermined number of warps (taana) for the loom through which the yarns would be woven. Our authorities make sure that the correct yarn tufts, nakshas, and material are supplied to the weavers. The wefts (bana) are systematically hung in a ball (kabli) before they start the daily work (dehadi).
8

WEAVING

Weaving is a highly skilled process where some weavers can tie up to 9000 knots tied in a day, and some carpets take up to a year to be completely woven. Tools used: chura is a metal blade, forged to cut the knots evenly without damaging the yarn.
9

WASHING

The washing processes define the final look and feel of the carpet. It cleans off foreign particles and gives the carpet a soft lustre. This also prevents shrinkage and shredding. There are several finishes that are exclusive to Obeetee.
10

OFFLOOMING & PREPARING FOR BAZAAR

Different types of fibres need different methods of dyeing. There are over 1000 machines of different capacities. The dyeing procedures are followed in an eco-friendly manner, keeping in mind social accountability.
11

INSPECTING

There is an inspection during the weaving process as well as once the carpet is taken off the loom. Firstly, the puttha (carpet back) is checked with the corresponding naksha to see if the pattern has been woven correctly.
12

FINAl APPROVAL

The carpets are approved by the designer for a final go ahead
