What Inspires Us to Design with Jan Kath

You can be cool while still keeping your feet warm! With his modern designs, Jan Kath is creating a completely new perspective on carpets. Guided by a bold approach to his work, Kath, originally from Bochum, combines classical elements of Oriental carpets with contemporary minimalist design.

He consciously breaks with traditional ways of seeing and throws strict rules of composition out the window. “Our carpets are an organic dotting of the ‘i‘, islands of well-being with a healing effect in cool interiors – without destroying the overall style.” Kath has developed an unmistakable signature that defines style and makes him one of the most important carpet designers on the international stage today. His designs have earned him numerous accolades, including the “red dot“ award and the “Carpet Design Award“. More and more of his work is now appearing in museums that showcase art and design such as the Frankfurt Museum of Applied Art and the Beijing International Design Triennial.
