As featured in Architectural Digest Middle East, our collaboration with AD100 visionary Shaikha Al-Sulaiti represents a profound meeting of Egyptian craftsmanship and Qatari heritage. The result is 'Divine Connection', a prayer rug that transcends its functional purpose to become a meditation on unity, spirituality, and the threads that bind communities together.
Al-Sulaiti, known for her ability to weave contemporary aesthetics with deep cultural roots, drew inspiration from the intricate carvings found in traditional Qatari homes.
"To me, culture is our identity," Al-Sulaiti reflects, "religion, on the other hand, serves as our guiding light." This philosophy permeates every knot of the Divine Connection, where spiritual symbolism meets social design. As the first piece in Al-Sulaiti's capsule collection with Kahhal 1871, it sets the tone for a partnership that honors tradition while imagining new forms of connection, a message that resonates now more than ever in our increasingly fragmented world.
