The inspiration for the Boro design is an ancient patchwork art from Japan. There, long strips of worn materials are sewn together to form exclusive wall hangings. Jan Kath has found a new interpretation for this idea in his designs.

Jan Kath has incorporated motifs from Italian wall coverings and Indian saris into his classic collection. The timeless, subtle designs lend a noble atmosphere to any room.

The carpets in the Concept Collection fulfill the desire for simplicity and directness. Because design is abandoned here, the main focus shifts to large surfaces, color, structure, and quality. “This is a grand entrance for Tibetan highland wool,” says Jan Kath. “Although it is essentially a monochrome surface, a sense of vitality is created by the materials used. Depth and structure emerge, thus making it possible for a single-color carpet to have the presence of a sculpture in the room.”

Plants and natural colors have a very important role in the Gamba and Spice Collection. In addition to hand-combed and hand-spun Tibetan highland wool, these carpets are composed of stingingnettle and hemp fibers, which lend the designs an unusual vitality and depth.

These carpets make you want to lie down and sleep on them. The naturally white, fluffy Berber rugs have a tradition in Morocco that is centuries old. At their small, portable weaving chairs, the nomad women wove carpets that were narrow but often quite long. These pieces filled the nomads’ tents. The voluminous and rustic carpets served to insulate the floor from cold, and to make the space livable.

Stinging-nettle fibers are the basic material of the Mauro Collection. Wool and silk are used solely to create individual accents. Due to the choice of materials, the carpets express an untouched charm, as though left to nature.

Jewelry for floors: Emerald, hematite, quartz and agate. In the new collection “Sliced,” the design template is derived from nature. Jan Kath’s carpets reproduce cross-sections of elegant precious and semi-precious stones.
