Ferrara Special Rocked By Jan Kath
Part of the Erased Classic collection, Ferrara Special Rocked is a 100 knot carpet made of wool, silk and nettle. The classic repeating patterns form the basis of Jan Kath’s Erased Classic Collection. The Carpet’s every, ordered motifs are dispersed; the repeating patterns look as if they have been erased, doused with acid and patched up. This produces a completely new design vocabulary which Jan Kath embellishes even further.
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).
