Rug Art is Jan Kath’s sole distributor for the 32 counties of Ireland
JAN KATH IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IN-DEMAND DESIGNERS OF HAND-KNOTTED CARPETS. HE PURPOSELY BREAKS WITH CONVENTIONAL STYLES AND THROWS STRICT DESIGN RULES OVERBOARD.
The man from Bochum doesn’t shy away from combining classic elements from the oriental carpet with contemporary, minimalist design. Another major theme of his current work involves the interpretation of photorealistic motifs in textile art, which Kath perfects together with his carpet weavers in the workshops in Kathmandu (Nepal).
INSPIRED BY NUMEROUS TRIPS TO VIBRANT CITIES AND NOT LEAST BY HIS NATIVE RUHR REGION WITH ITS ARCHAIC INDUSTRIAL CULTURE, JAN KATH QUICKLY DEVELOPED HIS DISTINCTIVE SIGNATURE WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STYLE-DEFINING
