Jan Kath Design has revolutionised the world of rugs. For nearly 30 years, the brand has been shaping the international design scene with its work. While the creative language spans a broad spectrum, production remains deliberately rooted in tradition. Each carpet is crafted using centuries–old hand–knotting techniques in selected workshops in Nepal and India, certified for sustainability by the Swiss label STEP. Knot by knot, skilled artisans translate the designs into textile art. Only premium natural materials are used, including hand–combed Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk, and Nepalese nettle. This balanced material composition gives the rugs a distinctive tactile quality and a deep, layered presence beyond the surface.

BEFORE VINTAGE FURNITURE creates furniture using wood that holds genuine value but had lost its place in the market for various reasons. Through precise craftsmanship and an architectural approach, the brand gives these materials a new future. Each piece of furniture is individually numbered, reflecting the belief that furniture becomes more meaningful as it ages alongside its owner. By revealing the quiet power of sleeping wood, the brand expresses honesty toward the material and the possibility for each piece to mature into a future vintage.
