Origin

For the design of this rug we drew inspiration from the inventive geometric patterns of Lori rugs. Lori rugs are a finer version of the Gabbeh, which was knotted by the Lurs, a tribe in south-western Persia (also known as Loristan). They are also called Loribaft. The added syllable "baft" means roughly "knotted". Translated, Loribaft therefore means Lur knotting.

In our modern interpretation of the Lori pattern, simplicity and a focus on the essentials were especially important to us. We gave the rugs a plain, monochrome design and colouring in natural cream, brown and grey tones. Within the pattern you can discover the traditional stylised, geometric motifs from the everyday life of the nomads – such as goats, camels, dogs, plants or people. The restrained geometric pattern and the friendly colours create a pleasant, warm atmosphere at home.

Material

The pile of this Schlingel is made from high-quality new wool yarns. In an innovative process, the new wool is looped by hand around a cotton backing. This method is considerably less labour-intensive than traditional knotting, speeds up production and thus allows for lower prices. The quality and durability of hand-looped rugs is impressive – in relation to their price. Looping does not, however, allow for intricate patterns. That is why the patterns of hand-looped rugs are kept simple.
