Created in Milan in 1998 by designer Paolo Zani, Warli grew from a simple idea: contemporary rugs made by hand, using techniques passed down for centuries. The project began as a series of drawings and material tests in Zani’s studio and became a bridge between Italian design thinking and India’s weaving heritage.
Warli’s collections now range from indoor and outdoor rugs to furniture and accessories, but the core stays the same — natural fibers, clean forms, and a quiet kind of sophistication. Production follows a clear path: locally sourced yarns, untreated materials, azo-free colors, and recyclable synthetics chosen for longevity rather than trend.
Every piece is made by hand — knotted, tufted, or woven on a loom — carrying the small irregularities that give it character. The result feels both precise and human. From Cesena to Milan to Jaipur, Warli keeps weaving one idea: that good design should live well, age well, and leave as little trace as possible.
