In addition to the wool, the finest Chinese silk and yarn made from nettle fibers are used to reflect light in highly appealing way and give the carpets a very special look and feel. Unique natural materials combined with handmade production techniques give each carpet its own character, making it a distinctive creation like no other. There are between 100 and 450 knots in every 6.45 square centimeters (one square inch).

Jan Kath
One of the world’s most in-demand designers of hand-knotted carpets. He purposely breaks with conventional styles and throws strict design rules overboard.
The man from Bochum doesn’t shy away from combining classic elements from the oriental carpet with contemporary, minimalist design. Another major theme of his current work involves the interpretation of photorealistic motifs in textile art, which Kath perfects together with his carpet weavers in the workshops in Kathmandu (Nepal).
