Habibian is closely connected to Nain's classical rug tradition. Compositions and production experience from the preceding generations continue through successors including Masoud. Training in design, dyeing and weaving connects the family name with both its history and specific production work.
Works and style
Contemporary works
Company works following the succession continue Nain's classical compositions, with attention to the coordination of pattern, colour and production. Viewers can first consider the arrangement of the whole, then how colours and patterns respond to one another. This familiar traditional language enters the later catalogues and presentation of works.
People and heritage
Family continuity diagram
The brothers Fatollah and Mohammad founded a rug-weaving workshop in Nain. Fatollah's son-in-law Farhang continued the family craft through weaving, careful material selection and collaboration on original patterns. His three sons Masoud, Mahmoud Reza and Alireza took over production in the mid-1990s.

Habibian's continuity involves Fatollah, Farhang and later family members Masoud, Mahmoud Reza and Alireza. Nain's classical compositions provide a starting point for understanding how the preceding generations' production tradition continues through the successors' training and production experience.
Masoud's account of production experience covers training in design, dyeing and weaving, while company catalogues provide access to later works. Historical works and contemporary production have their own chronologies in this archive, allowing readers to appreciate accumulated family experience and the professional work undertaken by successors.
