Rug Star

The fascinating element of the RUG STAR collections is the fusion of old traditional handicraft methods and innovative solutions. The hand-knotted Tibetans from the Himalayans are produced according to a century old tradition. The traditional production process and the dyeing method make every product a one-off. The products alternate between elements of furniture, textile construct and objects, but also truly unique sculptures, depending on the point of view and the name applied. A carpet transforms a space with a dining table to a dining area, a space with a sofa to a living area.
