Kelim Hoch2
This rug in anthracite and black exists in this form only once: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Its 201 × 151 cm make it a living-room rug. It also cuts a fine figure under a dining table for four to six people. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin
Kelims (also kilim, qilim) were traditionally made only for the weavers' own use. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their flat-woven kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. With our new kelims we have developed the traditional Iranian weaving technique further, so that we can make kelims that are considerably firmer and thicker. We call this new generation of kelims Kelim Hoch2.For our Kelim Hoch2 we wrap new wool dyed with natural colours around thick strands of coarsely spun new wool, creating firm panels with an extraordinary texture. We then sew these panels, in different colours and patterns, together with coarse stitches until we reach the width we want. The result is contemporary, extremely hard-wearing kelims with simple patterns and harmonious shades.
Material
The pile of this Kelim Hoch2 was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected 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.
