A short film from the HALI editorial floor — issues, books and events from the past year. Direction by HALI Studio.
The leading voice in carpets and textiles since 1978.
§HALI began in 1978 as a magazine for publishing conference papers. Nearly five decades later, we’ve grown into a publishing house, creative agency and events company at the heart of the world of handmade carpets and textiles — antique and contemporary.
Our tight-knit team of writers, editors, designers, marketing professionals and social media experts brings together an unrivalled depth of knowledge: textile and carpet expertise, market insight, and the ability to present it beautifully in print and digital.
We work with handmade rug companies, antique galleries, auction houses, museums, art foundations, trade organisations, design fairs, exhibitions, charities, NGOs and private collectors — from start-ups to global brands, on projects of every scale.
Six services. One area of expertise.
Magazines
Publishers of HALI (quarterly, since 1978) — the definitive title for carpets and textiles across all eras and cultures — and COVER (quarterly, since 2005), the leading magazine for contemporary handmade carpets and textiles in interior design. We also produce bespoke magazines for organisations, brands and events in arts, antiques, design and cultural heritage.
Books
The leading publisher in the field of textiles. We commission writers, edit, design and print art books, catalogues and exhibition titles, with worldwide distribution under the HALI Publications imprint. We also produce titles for other publishers in French, German, Japanese and Arabic.
Events
We host and consult on academic conferences, exhibitions and trade fairs — including COVER Connect (boutique trade fairs in New York and Las Vegas), HALI conferences, antique carpet fairs, museum exhibitions, design awards, talk programmes, virtual events and buyer tours.
Tours
HALI Tours offer exclusive access to carpet and textile treasures in museums and private collections around the world. Small groups, handpicked luxury accommodation, fine dining, and expert-led encounters. Past destinations include Morocco, India, Japan, the Caucasus, Transylvania and the great British collections.
“Everything was perfectly put together; I would like to do the whole thing all over again.”
Social Media
We help brands, galleries, auction houses and fairs reach their social media goals. Content creation, moderation, targeted campaigns, paid advertising, influencer partnerships, analytics and long-term strategy — delivered by an editorial team and graphic designers who understand the market.
Content & Design
Branding, websites, catalogues, advertisements, photography, art direction, and video — from short social clips to fully scripted features. Forty years of textile expertise applied to creating new brands, refreshing existing ones, and producing marketing that resonates with the right audience.
Trusted by the leaders in the field.
