With his modern designs, Jan Kath is creating a completely new perspective on carpets. Guided by a bold approach in his work, Kath combines classical elements of oriental rugs with contemporary, minimalist design.
JAN KATH DESIGN is redefining the world of rug art. Between tradition and avant-garde, hand-knotted masterpieces emerge – far more than mere textile floor coverings, they are style statements.
Knot by knot, these carpets are crafted using centuries-old techniques in renowned manufactories in Kathmandu (Nepal), Agra (India), and the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The true star of every creation is the material itself: Hand-spun highland wool, the finest silk, and exquisite nettle fiber give the visionary designs a rich texture – an additional, tangible dimension of artistry.
Each piece seamlessly fuses traditional craftsmanship with a progressive design language. Archaic patterns merge with urban coolness, classical ornaments dissolve into abstract worlds of color.
The result: carpets of unparalleled depth and character – created for collectors, connoisseurs, and all those who define the antiques of tomorrow today.
Jan Kath Rug News 2025
CYPRINUS
Beneath the blue
The rugs from the CYPRINUS collection transport you to the magical world of the oceans. Inspired by the flowing movements and shimmering reflections beneath the surface of the water, iridescent colors and gentle transitions merge into a design that radiates serenity and calm.
CONCEPT
Principles of the Bauhaus
The CONCEPT collection is a tribute to the beauty of minimalism. The rugs combine minimalist design with perfect craftsmanship. The ADJA designs follow the principles of Bauhaus: generous dimensions, clear lines and a subtle color palette. This restraint allows the Tibetan highland wool, the soul of each rug, to be shown in all its splendor.
ERASED ARTWORK
The allure of the imperfect
It is a play on tradition and deconstruction - in ERASED ARTWORK traditional patterns are alienated, structures dissolve, ornaments erode until only hints, fragile surfaces and blurred layers of color remain. A controlled decay that opens up new aesthetic spaces.
SPECTRUM SUPREME
Light and Ornament
Inspired by the dazzling northern lights in the sky over Siberia, Jan Kath has created the Spectrum collection. In the latest designs in this series, he combines the fascinating, iridescent play of light with classic ornaments. They are elegantly framed, grounding the fleeting lightness of the light reflections in design terms. It is therefore not without reason that the collection bears the nickname “Supreme”, which underlines the exceptional quality and expressiveness of these rugs.
