Golran

Golran is a Milan-based carpet company with Persian roots, founded in 1898 in Mashhad by Hajizadeh Golran and moved to Italy in 1968 by his son Elyas. Four generations later it is run by Eliahu, Elia, Nathan and Benjamin Golran, working as both manufacturer and publisher of hand-knotted rugs.

The collections move between archival Persian patterns and contemporary work: since 2021 Piero Lissoni oversees art direction, and the company collaborates with international designers on pieces that sit between design and applied art. Production remains hand-knotted, with dedicated workshops in Nepal allowing custom formats and personalised commissions alongside the classic, antique and decolorised ranges.
