Family Tradition
The respect and the special care with which Daniel Ishaki handles the process of creation of carpets is hereditary. Since more than three decades the Ishaki family is dedicated to the creation and sales of carpets.
In the beginning Joseph Ishaki, his father, founded a manufacture of silk yarn in Bursa (Turkey).
Laterwards, in Hereke, he opened a shop in order to sell their products. The knowhow acquired during the years were reflected in the high quality of the end product which helped the family establish another center of production in Kayseri, in the Capadocian region of central Turkey which is equipped with more than 10000 looms and two shops in Istanbul named Ekol and Susler.
The proof of this professionalism is the worldwide recognition of Ishaki family after participating in different international fairs in Germany, France or United States. Nowadays, the family business is administrated by David Ishaki, brother of Daniel.
Daniel decided to bring this knowhow to Occident moving to Barcelona in 1989. Since then we can feel the aroma of turkish bazars in Alfombras Ishaki, in the Sarria district of Barcelona.
