”When the question came up about making art carpets, I thought: What fun! I can pull up my small sketches to larger formats and from there transfer them onto carpets. It was a great challenge and exciting.”

Kosta Boda carpets
For the first time in Kosta Boda’s over century long history, a series of products that are not made of glass is being released. However, it is still handmade art that has been designed by Kosta Boda’s designers. In partnership with CarpetVista, Kosta Boda has come forth with a limited series of carpets designed by Sweden's most renowned art glass designers. The carpets are produced in limited editions in India and knotted by hand using wool of the highest quality and details accentuated with the help of silk.

Material
Wool is a natural textile fibre and one of the most sought after materials for rug making. Wool rugs are highly durable and perfectly capable of resisting wear and tear of every day use. Wool has a naturally dirt-repelling effect and is easy to keep clean. It is also flame resistant and characteristically retains it’s shape so that the pile of the rug always rises.
The colors in the rug will be perceived differently depending on the angle you view it from.
