We invite you to get acquainted with the features and types of elite designer canvases and options for their placement in the interior of residential premises.
Features of handmade designer carpets
Exclusive design is the main difference and the main feature of such carpets. Their style is the embodiment of the author’s wildest fantasies, so designer carpets are also called author’s. It was European designers who gave rise to the popular trends in carpet weaving today – Erased Classics (Erased Heritage), Abstraction, Minimalism.
The best materials. Any designer, thinking over the concept of a future product, carefully selects the performer and materials. As a rule, author’s carpets are made by special order at well-known manufactories or from eminent private craftsmen in Turkey, Iran, India. They are woven by hand from high quality materials:
- sheep wool (New Zealand, Tibetan or Iranian);
- goat or camel wool (added in small quantities to sheep’s wool to make the pile silky);
- Silk;
- natural and artificial leather;
- viscose or bamboo silk;
- flax, cotton or hemp fibers.
Unique technologies. To implement the author’s ideas, original methods of processing yarn and pile are used. Many technologies are developed by special order of the designer, and their features are kept by manufacturers in the strictest confidence. For example, to give the carpet a vintage look, a relief haircut or structural burning of the pile, chemical bleaching (blurring of paints) or uneven dyeing of threads are used. On some canvases, several technologies can be used at once.
