Meet the Designers

Erinn Valenchich
The Erinn V. Collection consists of modern designs in luxurious textures designed to last. This is a collection of cohesive versatility that invites pairings and harmonizes widely. Modern heirlooms for your home.

César Giraldo
Design happens when a line experiences an unexpected curve and goes off into uncharted territory; a chance encounter that transcends initial ideas during creation. This collection was inspired by my appreciation of the Art Deco movement and its effects on contemporary culture.

Erica Islas
Erica Islas Collection for Mehraban Rugs is poetically inspired by Erica's love for travel, architecture, art, culture, and living life fully. The designs are timeless, graphic, textural, colorful, edgy, and sophisticated.

Claudia Afshar
The Claudia Afshar Collection from Mehraban is a luxurious combination of wool and silk compositions, inspired by contemporary architecture and natural elements. Clean and simple designs with fluting details are brought to you in sophisticated form by high-end interior design specialist, Claudia Afshar. 

Sue Firestone
Sue returns to her roots on the Malibu coastline for inspiration in this collection. Each piece arises out of a sense of the colors and atmosphere unique to this enclave, from a time in history when the line separating earth and ocean was undefined. Each rug evokes a different unique sense of the California coast.

Michael Berman
Refined design is matched with vivid tonal palettes in the Michael Berman Collection. These are stylish rugs with a unique blend of Hollywood glamour and So-Cal's Mid Century Modern.


Citizen Artist We have had the pleasure of creating two collections with the founders of Citizen Artist, the Bisous Collection, and the most recent Baci Collection. The Baci Collection by Citizen Artist is inspired by Italian mosaics, friendship, and the simple pleasures found while falling in love with the spirit of Italian culture. The Bisous Collection is inspired by the ways in which human beings express themselves: language, poetry, art, and architecture. Bisous is intended as a celebration — an exultation — shared through original artwork and expertly translated into fine rugs.


Liesel Plambeck
Liesel Plambeck is a Los Angeles based artist and designer specializing in textile and product design. Taking inspiration from the landscape of her home state California and her expansive vintage print collection, she combines the traditional art of rug making with modernist-influenced designs, creating works that are dynamic and contemporary.

Gina Werfel
This piece, designed by Gina Werfel for her Art on the Floor Collection, was inspired by her month-long stay in Rome. Outside of her studio window where she was living was a view of pulsating rhythm that she adapted into painterly marks. This wool and silk rug tells a beautiful story that will leave lasting impressions in any space.
