CHELEBI FURNITURE AND DECOR Aida Mahmudova and Farid Rasulov, two contemporary Azerbaijani artists, created CHELEBI Furniture & Decor in 2013. Inspired by their aesthetic, CHELEBI offers unique and limited-edition pieces that merge modernity with an unmistakably artistic approach to furniture design. CHELEBI is an international company with strong Azerbaijani roots. It attracts both local and international clients who value exquisite taste and the desire to bring colour and variety into their homes. The company creates three different furniture lines that offer clients an increasingly bespoke and exclusive experience. Only 20 versions of the same piece are produced for the Exclusive series, while the Unique series provides the opportunity to own the only single copy of a particular piece. These series owe their originality to an ongoing collaboration with local and international artists, illustrators, designers and crafts people. All furniture is crafted from wood, both structured and elegant in design, featuring intricately carved details and soft cushions that invite relaxation. Patterns and upholstery evoke traditional Azeri elements and motifs, including the Caspian Sea and stained-glass designs from the northwest city of Sheki, to create unmistakable and unique pieces of furniture. Dining chairs, sofas and armchairs are currently available, with the range set to expand into limited-edition pieces upholstered in artistdesigned fabrics. A luxurious range of goose-feather cushions is also available and produced from the same high-quality fabric as the upholstered furniture. Each cushion draws on many of the same Azerbaijani themes, including characters from folklore, musical instruments and summer fruit. Clients can also choose from a range of mirrors, which offer handmade wooden, metal and ceramic frames.

Many of the metal frames reference the distinctive patterns found in windows crafted in the Abershon region of Azerbaijan, while the tiles are illustrated with scenes of wild birds and musical instruments. The tiles, which are also found within the furniture range, can be custommade for wall decorations, and are created by local master ceramists that use ancient methods to create a historic look. Fine bone china sets include plates, teapots and cups placed within beautiful gift boxes and decorated with patterns based on Azeri proverbs. Clients will soon be able to enjoy an expanded range of ceramics, including porcelain salt and pepper shakers and bathroom accessories that will each boast distinctive patterns of traditional Azerbaijani motifs.

The cleaning properties of NuSilk™ are quite simply amazing and the more you use it the better it gets! NuSilk™ boasts a more compact, high tenacity molecular structure than natural and organic fibre options resulting in a product that will resist fibre loss due to abrasion and will not experience shedding or pilling common in natural fibres. A specialized twisting process results in a finished product that has high resiliency, allowing increased resistance to pile crush or “walk out” common in floor coverings made of natural and organic fibres. Uniquely SYLKA™ Carpets are certified to a commercial density rating of up to 1,000 traffics per day, giving them an extra heavy domestic/medium to heavy contract grading. All Sylka™ products have achieved fire certification throughout the world, including Japan where it is often difficult to obtain.

celebrities. The brand’s collections are based on creating something different, unique, elegant, feminine and a bit edgy for brilliant confident women. One of the latest collections for Mamzi was “Animus” FW15 it was inspired by tuxedos and manly clothes and its all about women empowerment and independence. Even when doing edgy its always important never to loose femininity for Abdelghany. Femininity and elegance is the most important for the brand. As well as it’s always important to create something unique yet wearable. The uniqueness of every piece is obvious from its silhouette, finish lines to the use of the highest quality of fabrics. Some very well known celebrities were seen wearing Mamzi like the super star Laila Elwi, Safaa Abou el seoud and Dorra and that has spot some light on the brand. However, Abdelghany's most important goal for Mamzi is to keep on getting inspired and inspire people with what she’s creating which is always going to be different and special.
