Makalu Design / Paulig Carpets: Delicate play of colours with silken accents

In the Makalu Domus collection, Makalu presents a soft play of colours with delicate silken accents, including a design with feathers blending into each other. In another design, the graphic Art-Deco-style border with its delicate silk sheen effectively builds tension with the lively colourfulness of the background. The special dyeing technique using vegetable dyes (abbreviated VEG) creates a beautiful abrash that can be recreated at any time, based on the 325 colours of the Makalu Design colour system. Carpets in this collection have a knotting density of 80 knots per square inch (approx. 124,000 knots per m2).

The plants from which they are obtained belong to the mallow family and thrive in an ever-humid, tropical climate. "Sustainability is not a trend, but the only way to shape the future," says Marketing Manager Jürgen Hemsel.

Otto Golze: Schöner Wohnen and Astra now also in custom sizes

In order to have the best effect in a room, a rug or carpet needs to be exactly the right size.

Mc Three: Flatweaves with wool, sustainably produced

With the Pure flatweave collection, the Belgian weaver Mc Three follows the principle "less is more" and achieves great effects with few means: Pure's colour palette consists of exactly two natural shades (beige and grey), and its designs know to impress through clever subtleness, using different weaving techniques to imitate the surface structures of wood, sand, grain fields or tiled floors. The woolly feel of the rugs is due to the fact that the yarn actually contains new wool.
