What distinguishes hand-knotted, hand-woven or hand-tufted carpets is the individual nature of their character. Each one is unique. Combine that with endless variations on materials, colours and shapes, not to mention the diff erent production processes, and it’s easy to see why they never fail to achieve a unique look. As you’ll see elsewhere in this magazine, the importance of carpets and rugs as a design element in interiors cannot be understated. Hand-made carpets accentuate rooms, giving them structure and creating a unique atmosphere. From antique to modern and contemporary, from classic oriental rugs to leather, fur, jewelled and decorative carpets – the hand-made carpet is an ancient cultural asset, yet always up-to-date. And you’ll fi nd them all here at DOMOTEX, whether from Afghanistan, China, India, the Caucasus, Iran and many other places. What’s more, young players from the art and design scene
are constantly rediscovering the hand-made carpet, giving it a contemporary character and keeping it alive. Special materials such as leather, felt or wood are used to add a special touch to interiors. Ancient carpets on the other hand, those that exude history, often embodying centuries-old cultures, are getting a makeover, using a multiplicity of processes to revive their appearance. Hand-knotted, hand-woven or hand-tufted carpets have long been
distinguished by their individual character. Machine-made woven carpets are also in demand at the moment, unsurprising, given the numerous advantages they off er. For one thing, they are much faster
to manufacture than hand-woven products, making them cheaper as a result. They also allow for the swift implementation of the latest trends, a fact not lost on those experts working behind the scenes. But how can you tell? Contemporary
woven carpets are often masters of illusion – they look hand-made, but are actually made on machines. The DOMOTEX range includes large-area carpets as well as bridges, patterns, runners, bathroom sets, bed surrounds and step carpets. Textile fabrics have often been described as the sector’s all-rounders. Thanks to constant manufacturing refi nements, even individual wishes in terms of size, colour and materials can be accommodated. And machine made woven carpets continue to impress, thanks to their complex patterns and fascinating
play of
colours and natural materials. Carpets and rugs: Halls 2-6
