Le Maroc Blanc By Jan Kath
These carpets invite you to lie down and take a nap. The nomadic tribes in the Atlas mountains of Morocco have been producing these naturally white, fluffy berber carpets for centuries. The carpets insulated the dwellings against the cold and made them homey. Jan Kath revived this ancient knotting tradition in Le Maroc Blanc.

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).
