We are delighted to add yet another daring young designer out of Germany who is tearing up the rule books and pushing all the boundaries in the carpet world. Rug Star carpets are bold and joyful and completely pop! Amazing vision and craftsmanship combined with the finest materials create some of the most incredible carpets you will ever see.

RUG STAR by Jürgen Dahlmanns

The creative child of two “wild things,” Dahlmanns grew up close to the German-Dutch border and received an architect’s training. At 23, he visited Nepal and encountered his first Tibetan rug, which created an immediate desire to learn “all there was to know about those ancient methods of turning wool into this product that I began to regard as magical.” Today, he is the design visionary of a phenomenally successful, award-winning collection of carpets that are handmade in Nepal and India, and offer outstanding quality due to their tightly knotted fabrics. These rugs represent the perfect marriage of ancient craftsmanship and modern imagination.

“TO BREAK THE RULES, YOU MUST FIRST MASTER THEM.”

Dahlmanns puts his architect’s training to full use, understanding and exploring the potential role of a carpet within the modern interior. He describes a rug as “creating a space within a space without erecting obstacles”. Rug Star carpets are textile landscapes, brimming with life and colours. Playfully reinterpreting the traditional art of hand-knotting, here, patterns are raised and colour scapes are made to bloom. Revived by this love for material and surface treatment, ancient ways receive a new lease on life.

Please drop by to experience these imaginative knotted artworks for yourself. Their unconventional motifs and images invite fascinating combinations with contemporary and traditional interiors. Come dream.
