Illulian, the Italian brand globally renowned for its custom-made, handcrafted luxury rugs, presents Plumaria, an extraordinary creation that blends craftsmanship and creativity in a unique interpretation of contemporary design.

Over the years, the Maison has collaborated with the most prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel, Dior, and Jean-Paul Gaultier, bringing its art into fashion, entertainment, design, and the arts.
