Mazandaran Kelim
This rug in anthracite and black combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. A knot density of roughly 500,000–750,000 knots per m² makes the demanding workmanship visible – right down to the fine execution of the details. At 372 × 280 cm it is well placed as a rug for generous living spaces. It comes into its own just as nicely in a reception area. This one-of-a-kind piece brings individual character into the room and keeps its value well beyond short-lived trends.

Origin
Mazandaran is one of Iran's most remote mountain regions. It lies in the north of the country and is shaped by a landscape that is untypically subtropical for Iran, stretching between the sandy beaches of the Caspian Sea and the snow-capped peaks of the Alborz mountains. For a long time it was assumed that Mazandaran was out of the question as a source of collectable textiles. All the greater was the surprise when, in the mid-1990s, the textile heritage of simple farmers living from crops and livestock was rediscovered in village chests and cupboards in Hezar-Jerib, a remote, poor and almost forgotten mountain area in the far east of Mazandaran.The Kelims from Mazandaran are regarded as an archetype of minimal design. Because of their very local history, these Kelims only became widely known among specialists in the past decade. Thanks to their simple, understated patterns, which still feel contemporary, and their harmonious, earthy tones, their following keeps growing.
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.
