Transitional
In a transitional rug the history, roots and soul of a classical Persian carpet are still visible, but the weaving has been given a new twist. This twist can be an unexpected colourway, a reconceived traditional motif, or a play on scale. Some designers use a traditional design as their canvas and then transform the main field through creative draftsmanship or by letting some elements fade while others take precedence. Often transitional carpets are shaped by global contemporary design sensibilities, fitting in perfectly with an international style that favours minimalist designs with muted tones and paredback pattern. Transitional designs are not moving away from the Persian carpet heritage – rather, they combine the best of two worlds. With such a young and well-educated population, this area of the carpet market is set to develop hugely over the coming years.[1]
