In a matter of just a few years the name BARJIS has become synonymous with the very highest quality of luxurious handmade rugs, carpets and wall art for special interior projects.
With notable installations which include Emirates Towers Dubai, Landmark House London, Hotel George London, Hotel Cayre Paris and over 45 privately commission projects around the world - including luxury a villa in Bahrain and a luxury apartment in New York - BARJIS has firmly established itself as on of the most respected specialist designers in its field.
The business was started by entrepreneur Barjis Chohan in 2000. Having studied fashion and gaining her MA in Design at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, Barjis worked 2 years for a French fashion house. After giving birth to her first child she decided to use her design skills and apply them to textiles. By creating dynamic and unique rugs from paintings BARJIS soon built up an enviable reputation and a rapidly growing client list. Today Barjis has an office in London and a sales office in Dubai and works with a dedicated and highly skilful team of freelance designers.
This week BARJIS unveiled plans for further expansion into the worldwide market with a particular emphasis and concentration in the Middle East.
As an ambitious and talented woman Barjis Chohan has proved an inspiration to other women, especially Muslim women wishing to enter the business world. In the past few years alone she has picked up a string of awards as both a businesswoman and designer. Recent awards include the Businesswoman of the year, 1st runner up Entrepreneur of the year, and Most Internationally Aware Entrepreneur of the year – all presented at the Shell livewire awards. She has also won the coveted Mail on Sunday 'Designer of International Trade' and was runner up in the Best Female Owned Business in London.
Barjis Chohan is a firm believer in encouraging fresh design talent and has been much praised in developing her designer initiative 'barjiscreativz'™. BARJIS CREATIVZ provides a platform and mentoring service for new designers/artists and established creative firms to reach high growth international markets (www.barjiscreativz.com)
Further plans scheduled later in 2008 for the business to venture into clothing and fashion accessories will secure the BARJIS brand its well deserved position in this niche luxury goods marketplace.
