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

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
