CHELEBI

The idea behind CHELEBI FURNITURE & DECOR was born in 2013 by Aida Mahmudova and Farid Rasulov, two Azerbaijani contemporary artists. Both accomplished in their respective mediums, they joined forces to create a truly modern yet unmistakably Azeri aesthetic primarily for Azeri interiors. Merging old and new is at the core of the business. And so ongoing collaborations with local and international artists, illustrators, designers and crafts people are key to producing their beautiful, original and limited-edition home wares. By artfully and sensitively referencing nuances of Azerbaijan’s past, CHELEBI pieces are, ultimately, future heirlooms. The CHELEBI store and offices are in Baku, however the company derives its name from a mountainous village in Garabagh in the north-west of the country, renowned for its richly decorated carpets. CHELEBI is functional art. We offer a complete home look, encompassing furniture, lighting, wallpaper, textiles and accessories such as cushions, ceramics and mirrors. Traditional Azeri patterns, culturally familiar motifs and folkloric scenes adorn most pieces, and have a dual purpose: to be visually striking, but also to evoke colourful childhood memories and provide a reminder of these as the pieces are used in daily life.
