Luxury carpet designer & retailer Kamyar Moghadam on creativity

Kamyar Moghadam never expected to become a carpet designer, but today he channels his passion for aesthetics and creativity into reimagining one of the oldest art forms. In this interview with The Creativs in 2017, he shares how curiosity, environment, and craftsmanship shape his work.

Luxury carpet designer Kamyar Moghadam offers a refreshing take on creativity and beauty. Here are three insights he reveals:

• "Creativity starts with materials, textures, and colors." His process is deeply tactile. Traveling regularly to Nepal and India, Kamyar seeks out new fibers, colors, and textures, letting them spark new designs. Being hands-on with materials is essential to his creative flow.

• "My environment conditions my work." Living in Monte Carlo, Kamyar is constantly inspired by beauty, luxury, and vivid surroundings. His colorful, lively designs reflect the energy and richness of the world around him.

• "Creativity is tied to curiosity." For Kamyar, creativity comes from paying attention to life. He believes that to create, you must first be deeply curious, seeing, feeling, and appreciating the beauty hidden in everyday moments.

Kamyar invites us to think of creativity not just as making, but as a way of seeing. Want to explore more of his vision? Watch the full interview now.
