Varamin
This one-of-a-kind piece in red unites traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. At approx. 160,000–200,000 knots per m² the workmanship is correspondingly elaborate, evident in the precise drawing of the design and the finely executed details. Its 388 × 293 cm make it a rug for generously sized living spaces. It shows to equally good effect in a salon or loft. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic structure give any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin
Varamin (also spelled Veramin) lies a good 50 km south-east of Iran's capital Tehran, in the north of the country, and was an important administrative centre under Mongol rule. Because the capital Tehran is so close and wages there are higher, Veramin rugs are now hardly knotted at all. It is assumed that the knotting craft took hold here at roughly the same time as in Qom, that is at the beginning of the 20 century, and that the workshops were once set up by investors from Tehran. What speaks for this theory above all are the colour compositions of early Varamins, which recall those of Qom rugs.
Material
The pile of this Varamin was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.
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.
