cocoon was established in 1995 by Mustafa Gokhan Demir and quickly made a name in the international antique carpet and textile business, offering quality rugs, flatweaves, textiles from Central Asia as well as Persia and Anatolia to collectors throughout the world as well as catering to the tourist trade in Istanbul.  Located in the historic Arasta Bazaar, in the shadows of the Blue Mosque of the Sultan Ahmet district of Istanbul.
