Zen
This one-of-a-kind piece in black brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of roughly 120,000 knots per m², the demanding work shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine detailing. At 353 × 253 cm it suits a large living room. It comes into its own just as well in an open-plan living and dining area. The balanced colouring and the distinctive texture give any room an exclusive, welcoming atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing – it is a piece of traditional textile art with a character of its own and lasting value.

Origin
The modern, light-toned rugs in our Zen collection are made from pure new wool. They are more than just a decorative element. They are a true masterpiece of the rug-knotting craft.The finely knotted ridges create an enchanting pattern. The light, soft texture and the varying pile heights of the Zen collection calm the senses and create a pleasant atmosphere. Our Zen rugs are understated, meditative rugs with soul.
Material
The technique used to make the materials for the pile of this Zen is over 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical ones. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dye per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is labour-intensive and time-consuming too. And fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.But the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural oil content. Wool that has been dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style.
The weft threads of this Zen are made of wool. Cotton was used for the warp threads.
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.
