At Pierre Frey, the inspiration for a collection often originates from an encounter. In 2010, Patrick Frey and his team crossed the path of an individual who had explored South East Asia on foot. All along his travels, this passionate adventurer had collected textiles as an illustration of the ancestral artistry of often overlooked ethinicities. It is through this encounter that the team discovered the MIAO people, living in the Guizhou province of China, shielded by the moon mountains. The Maoming collection is an invitation to discover the mysterious power of the Miao art, based on the crafting of indigo and a diversity of colors. Geometric patterns and tie-dye effects in bright, shot silk colors evoke the talent and know-how of the Miao women.

The MAOMING collection is an invitation to discover the mysterious art of their textiles, characterized by the use of indigo and polychromatic embroideries. Ikats, batiks, pleats and geometrical embroideries in a vivid range of colors evoke the talent and know-how of the Miao women. This collection of textiles coordinates with the GUIZHOU wallpapers & wallcoverings collection.

Mao Ming rugs are entirely hand-knotted in the Nepalese tradition. The best quality Tibetan and cashmere wools and the finest Chinese silk and nettle are used to bring light, shine and a silky feel to the rug. The combination of natural and unique materials and an ancestral technique of artisanal craftsmanship endow the rug with its unique and luxurious character. Our rugs are precious works of art made to remain beautiful and vibrant for generations.
