The winners of the Carpet Design Award 2012 have been chosen. On Sunday, 15 January, 30 carpet designers from various countries received the prestigious design award at DOMOTEX. The exciting designs displayed at the leading trade fair for carpets and floor coverings impressed visitors from the trade and other professionals. In fact, the entire event offers an abundance of ideas and information, highlighting the patterns, colours and materials that will dominate in the season ahead.
A total of 211 carpets from 26 countries were submitted to the design competition, creating a "snapshot" of the best in the contemporary carpet design. Traditional and contemporary hand-made carpets are the ultimate lifestyle statement and exemplify the best of modern interior design and artisan skills.
"Like fine paintings that adorn the floor, beautiful handcrafted carpets have experienced a renaissance in recent years and are again considered as quality design objects for the home. They play an invaluable part in creating the style of a room and bring together all the separate elements of the interior design to create one harmonious overall composition", says one of the competition judges, Nina Yashar. As the director of the Milan gallery "Nilufar", she has incomparable knowledge of traditional and modern designer furniture, carpets and objects as well as an impeccable international reputation.
