Wiss

This one-of-a-kind piece in red brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The knot density of roughly 160k-200k knots per m² makes the demanding workmanship visible – right down to the fine detailing. At 327 × 220 cm it is in good hands as a large living room rug. It also cuts a fine figure in an open-plan living and dining area. The harmonious colouring and the distinctive texture give any room an exclusive, inviting atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a piece of furnishing – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

This rug was hand-knotted in the small town of Wiss in the so-called Sarough region. Wiss lies on the road from Arak to Isfahan in western Iran. Almost every private household in Wiss has a knotting loom. Sturdy rugs with traditional patterns are knotted here. Typical of rugs from Wiss is the dominant hexagon as the medallion in the central field, framed above and below by a hooked lozenge.

The pile of Wiss rugs is traditionally dyed with madder-red plant dyes – obtained from the root of the madder plant (Rubia tinctorium).

Material

The pile of this Wiss 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

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.
