Origin
Contemporary aesthetics meet Oriental tradition – for this Neo Mamlouk we drew our inspiration from the traditional patterns of Egyptian Mamlouk rugs.Traditional Mamlouk (occasionally also spelled Mamluk) rugs were knotted in Egypt above all in the 15th century and are today found almost exclusively in museums. Our Neo Mamlouk rugs are a reinterpretation of that classic pattern. The classic Mamlouk design is made up of numerous different geometric shapes and geometricised floral motifs that give the rug a kaleidoscopic effect.
We have reworked the traditional pattern templates, pared the design back and, above all, rearranged the colours entirely. The result is a fusion of traditional Oriental rug design and modern European aesthetics. With our Neo Mamlouks we set out to meet the trends of European interior design, playing freely with the conventions of traditional rug knotting.
Material
The pile of this Neo Mamlouk is made from a hard-wearing blend of wool and viscose. Viscose (also spelled viscose rayon, acetate silk or rayon) is always obtained from cellulose, a natural product, and therefore from the raw material wood. In India the cellulose pulp is obtained from bamboo. In an elaborate process the pulpy cellulose is drawn into one continuous textile yarn. This is why viscose is also known as continuous filament yarn. Because of the silky sheen of the yarn, viscose obtained from bamboo is also called "bamboo silk". The colloquial term "artificial silk" is not permitted under the German Textile Labelling Act (Textilkennzeichnungsgesetz, TKG).
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
