Ali Khodadadi

Ali Khodadadi (Persian: علی خدادادی, July 13, 1946 – June 9, 2011) was a carpet weaver and manufacturer from Iran, who was known for his work Boostan.

His father was a carpet manufacturer and tradesman, and his mother assisted her husband with his work.

Khodadadi was very fond of painting and designing and, upon completion of high school, chose to pursue his artistic talent in the field of Persian rug weaving.

[2] His first work, "Flower and Butterfly," was completed in 1977 and put at the disposal of the Carpet Museum of Iran in 1984.

This carpet was woven with an embossed design, but is considered very rare and unique due to the new weaving technique used by Khodadadi.
