Jan Kath has a completely new perspective on carpets. Combining classical elements from his oriental deep emotional roots, he is guided by a bold approach to his work. Jan Kath is from the third generation of a family of carpet dealers who have branches in the Ruhr and in Berlin.

Love the Le Maroc Blanc Collection, resembling the Beni Ourain tribal rugs from Morocco.
See his “Erased” line in the video below at the Milan 2011 Design Show. (more about the show here.)
“Nobody feels comfortable in clinically styled apartments with highly polished concrete floors,” Kath explains. “Our carpets are an organic dotting of the ‘i’, islands of well-being, which have a healing effect in cool interiors – without destroying the overall style.” These are carpets with a contemporary, minimalist design.
Modani Carpets has the Ematiod (below) and others available to purchase online.
