Custom Hand-Knotted Rugs for Chicago Interior Designers

Trade net pricing, 7-milestone production tracking, and lifetime stewardship — custom hand-knotted rugs built around the way designers actually work.

Most custom rug programs ask designers to take the client risk. Long lead times, opaque production, and a vendor you’ve never met. When the rug arrives wrong, you absorb it.

Ahmadi Rug is built around the opposite model. Seven production milestones with photographs and written sign-off at each stage. A kill-fee clause that keeps the production risk on us if the end client cancels. And a single point of contact — Bobby Ahmadi — who answers his own phone.

The program

What Chicago designers get

Trade net pricing

See wholesale floor pricing. Mark up however you choose. We never quote retail to your client.

7-milestone tracking

Photo and written confirmation at every production stage. Nothing moves forward without your approval.

Lifetime stewardship

Cleaning, repair, appraisal — one vendor across the full life of the rug.

The Collections

The five collections

Five construction tiers from hand-tufted to pure silk reserve. Each one is a specification you can put in front of a client with a defensible price and a documented provenance. Browse the full detail on the collections overview.

Stewardship does not end at delivery. Every rug we make together stays in our care for its full life — hand washing, structural repair, and RICA-certified appraisal for insurance or estate purposes. One vendor, one relationship, across decades.
