What are the current design trends that you would like to experiment with in the coming year?

Our Gabbeh collection epitomizes our design influence, offering artisans the freedom to create masterpieces. In the coming year, we’re delving deeper into this aesthetic, exploring its ultimate form while maintaining the core essence of our design philosophy. What sets the Gabbeh range apart is that it allows artisans independence, crafting rugs from leftover yarns without the need for Computer Generated Design (CAD) design. It’s a celebration of creativity and sustainability at its finest.

With your stores thriving in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad, do you plan on expanding further?

While we’re thriving in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi,Bangalore Hyderabad, ,Kolkata and Hyderabad, our expansion plans always keep getting more promising and bigger. The anticipation is real, and we can’t wait to unveil the next chapter in our journey.

Will there be an expansion into new home decor categories beyond rugs? If so, how will these showcase the original craftsmanship of Cocoon Fine Rugs?

While our focus has been on exquisite hand-knotted rugs, the launch of our furniture collection in collaboration in 2023 was just a glimpse of Cocoon’s unpredictability. As we journey through this year, we may explore new horizons and directions. Possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to see where our creative endeavours take us.

How do you plan to stay true to your commitment to sustainability in the coming year?

Sustainability is at the core of Cocoon’s ethos. Our commitment to the environment is evident in the Gabbeh Collection, crafted from waste yarns, and the bohemian collection featuring dhurries and flatweaves made from PET waste, cotton, and wool. As we progress into the coming year, we assure you that our dedication to complete sustainability will remain unwavering, ensuring each creation reflects our eco-conscious values.
