Abstract
Carpet experts consider nobility of a Qashqai rug in properties like use of suitable wool fiber, herbaceous dyeing, mental designing and bald painting. These principles were used in a variety of samples of Qashai tribe’s hand-woven carpets. On the other hand, production system in that period was based on the use of existing sources and facilities and motivated by providing financial support for the family. In this traditional period, production did not have commercial and public uses. Carpet ownership was limited to well to do families and was basically used as gift and present. However, in an industrial society several aspects of tribe life were influenced by the technological developments. The impact brought some limitations and obligations. Factors such as territorial reforms and trainings of different types changed carpet weaving and production. With the arrival of ready made factory hanks and chemical dyes quality of Qashqai products was threatened and carpets were massively produced. Merchants, dealers and intermediators’ played an important role in marketing the products. Different tribes and families produced their own carpets and a variety of designs and forms emerged. All in all, industrialization did not add to the nobility of the product in this period. Some products, however, were exceptional and represented the true value of Qashqai carpet. They made best use of the new possibilities provided by technology and industry to produce the best quality carpets, relying on the traditional elements of Qashqai carpet at the same time, incorporating some innovative elements. This opened new horizons for the carpet weavers.

Abstract
This article is trying to study production and distribution system based on providing value chain with the aim of identifying production & distribution system of hand-made carpet firstly; and studying the feasibility of changing from the push system to the pull system regarding the viewpoints of the elite and expert, secondly. In order to achieve this goal, the descriptive method of research has been used. Statistical population of this study includes elite and informed experts in production & distribution of hand-made carpets. Due to acquaintance of Iran National Carpet Center (INCC) with these people, 55 experts have been selected as the statistical samples. For collecting required information, a questionnaire has been used. The results of this study show that the present system of production & distribution of hand-made carpet in Iran is based on push system, which means the production & distribution of this product is not totally based on customer taste and Iranian experts active in this field try to provide carpets for target customers with hope that they will see those carpets and their art and hopefully will be encouraged to purchase them. But in most of cases, this method is not an effective one and competitors are producing their carpets incorporating the understanding of the customers’ taste regarding color, shape, size and drawing. Also the results of this study show that with planning and informing active people in this industry, it is possible to change the system from the push type to the pull one.

Abstract
Carpet design and decoration are the fundamental elements for producing carpet and they are important factors determining material and artistic values of a carpet. The access and use of innovative and demand driven designs are the crucial issues that carpet weavers face with, affecting their production, productivity and income. The purpose of this paper is to explore the supply sources and methods of access to silk carpet designs by rural weavers. The data were collected using a case study methodology through focus groups, semi-structured interviews, participatory mapping, document analysis and observation. The study was conducted with 90 rural silk carpet weaving households in 23 villages of the Zanjan Township and market actors in the cities of Zanjan, Qom and Kashan. Rural weavers produced carpet and received designs through two production approaches: a) self-employed production and b) contractual employed production for external entrepreneurs or dealers. In the self-employed approach, rural weavers got accessed to designs through two mediating chains including local and urban dealers. Access to designs in this approach was mostly indirect, in that rural weavers demanded and received designs from local dealers who in turn received the designs through the silk carpet market in the Zanjan City. In the contractual employed approach, rural weavers accessed their required designs through three mediating chains, comprising local dealers, urban dealers and urban entrepreneurs. The most frequent contact of rural weavers was related to their direct visit to their entrepreneurs or employers who were not carpet designers. In both production approaches, the provincial rural carpet :::::union::::: acted as a dealer rather than a community based organization supporting rural weavers, so it did not reflect the weavers’ interest.

Abstract
Afghanistan war rugs are of distinct features among the contemporary folk arts and that’s why they are considered very distinguished. Establishing a dialogue with the world about war as a catastrophe is regarded as the most significant feature of such works. Playing a major role in transferring mental ideas of artists, the extant space and rhythms in these hand-woven artifacts constantly fluctuate between two main concepts of war and life, or the imposed and the desired. The present research aims at demonstrating the representation of space and rhythm in Afghanistan war rugs on the basis of Henri Lefebvre’s theory. Accordingly, the main questions of the research would be as follows: How life and war spaces are represented in the Afghanistan war rugs? How the related rhythms of such phenomena have been demonstrated? Having been carried out in analytical-descriptive methodology and on library studies, the results of the essay show that representing the space in Afghanistan war rugs are actually considered an attempt to express self-assertion in power relations. The most important way to fulfill this purpose was offering contrast in the act of representation. While the military elements constitute the dominant rhythm in the rugs, their contrast with other motifs such as flowers, trees and plants, which are indicative of hesitation, tranquility and change in the rhythm, confronts the domination of war.
