Yogesh Chaudhary On His Collaboration With Gauri Khan
Jaipur Rugs recently collaborated with Gauri Khan who shared a common understanding of artistic rug just like them. Talking about the Gauri Khan collection, Yogesh Chaudhary unveiled, “the entire inspiration is the home of the weavers. We went around the villages across India, took a lot of photos of the village homes and used those textures to rugs in striking modern colors.” Showing one of the rugs from Gauri Khan collection, Yogesh said, “so this one is how the villagers use cow dung to put outside the home and then they take broom sticks to make lines and designs.” The whole texture was portrayed down on the rug.
