Thirty-five years ago, Ranbir Sahani set out to build something the industry had not seen, a manufacturing operation that would produce the finest rugs in the world, entirely on its own terms. Born in Isfahan, fluent in Farsi, he carries a native understanding of this craft that the industry's best clients recognise immediately. The rug as an art form originated in this culture. So did his eye for it.

​

What followed was decades of research, experimentation, and an obsessive refinement of process. ARES is the result. Over the decades it has grown into a premier luxury textile manufacturer, working with some of the most demanding design houses in the world, without once changing the values that built it. Every rug reflects a deep respect for traditional weaving techniques and an equally relentless pursuit of what those techniques can become.
