MEET PARISA

Parisa is the owner of Parisa Rugs & Décor, which debuted at the Marketplace Design Center in January 2000 before relocating to Old City in 2016.

Born in the United States, Parisa spent her childhood years in Tehran and St. Gallen. Her international upbringing shaped a design perspective that seamlessly blends tradition, innovation, and cultural richness. One of her earliest memories is traveling with her father through Iran’s Zagros Mountains to visit Qashqai rug weavers—an encounter that sparked a lifelong passion for handcraft and multi-generational artistry.

Parisa obtained her Master’s in Interior Architecture and Design from Drexel University, which laid the foundation for her design career. Parisa’s signature style is eclectically modern, uniting classic elements and unexpected clean lines, all while emphasizing comfort, functionality, and sophistication.

“They say there is a green field where concepts are born, where ideas are guided by beautiful inspirations, where the rare, unique and oblique allow the imagination to blossom without boundaries. As experts, designers and visionaries, we would like to meet you there!”
