All Winners at a Glance
Experimania
Exhibitor: Studio Bahlner
The installation aims to invite you to be a bodily part of the installation, by its built in stool, and to encourage to discover its tiniest details as well as the larger whole. Through the notion of touch the piece has intuitive grown to work as a border between carpet and sculpture as a haute couture piece for the room.
Machine ki Duniya
Exhibitor: Jaipur Rugs
The rug Machine ki Duniya by our weaver-designer is part of Manchaha, a sustainable initiative where weavers get to design their own rug spontaneously on the loom. In this rug, the artist has incorporated unconventional motifs like that of an airplane depicting her desire to fly as well as a farming machine which brought her more harvest, giving her some extra income.
Azure Rug
Exhibitor: Obeetee Private Limited
The design is inspired by african tribal motifs, structured and in more urbanised layout. Vegetable dyed wool used, imparts more authnticity to this.
"Carpet blue/green"
Exhibitor: Ashtari Carpets
This project arose from mutual respect for each other's craft and person. In the development of this carpet, we had an advisory technical role in the choice of materials and technical possibilities, and we were happy to share our expertise with them. The design is a collage of still lifes from artist's photographic work, which the designers' put together into a new whole.
Her Highness
Exhibitor: Selam Carpet & Home
Inspired by a shattered antique French crown. The images of the pieces of the crown have been mirrored both vertically and horizontally to be able to create a repeating overall pattern.
Stripes Olive
Exhibitor: Creative Matters Inc.

19-19 Collection
Exhibitor: FLOOR_STORY
’19-19’ is a series of 6 stunning handwoven wool and silk rugs. The title ‘19-19’ refers to the founding year of the first Bauhaus school in Weimar, with each rug named after a female designer, central to the development of the Bauhaus: Alma, Lucia, Gunta, Otti, Benita and Anni.
Isokon Building for the 19-19 collection
Exhibitor: FLOOR_STORY
For the creation of '19-19', the designer chose to photograph the collection, at an original, wood panelled apartment at the iconic Isokon building, in Hampstead, London.
My Story
Milad Sediqi | Turquoise Mountain Institute | Kabul, Afghanistan
Sediqi's design is titled "My Story" and features a love poem and an apotropiac message. The lines form a weave that represents the directions in which his feelings and creative impulses take him, and his struggles to find an expressive outlet. White represents light and blue Sediqui's blue moods.
