The collection is inspired by the Obeetee bungalow in the city of Mirzapur, described as a tranquil but vibrant respite from the streets of the nearby Varanasi.  The signature piece, of the same title, is a multi-level, hand-carved tufted rug made of 100 percent New Zealand wool.  This hand-tufted construction is a standard stitch and density that is ideal for both contract and residential, but with a modern, textural approach.

At BDNY, Obeetee will showcase a new 'Kuba Moroccan' quality with a construction that has been altered to be more suitable for the contract market. Shown, Pop of Tropics.

Included in the developments on show is the new elevated Kuba Moroccan quality, a sophisticated high pile, hand-knotted rug with a construction that has been altered and engineered to be more suitable for contract and hospitality.

 

The Obeetee booth at BDNY will be dressed in a hand-painted mural that illustrates a peacock in a dreamscape.

 

"We are very excited to be debuting this collection for the hospitality and contract markets and look forward to the many installations ahead," said Patricia Ben-Zvi, President of Obeetee, Inc. (Obeetee North America).

Obeetee is one of the world's largest handmade rug manufacturers as well as one of the oldest hand-woven rug companies in the world, and the first company in the industry to quality for ISO 9001 certification.
