Designer carpets
High quality rugsbased on the designs of well-known Designer This is the strength of Designercarpets. Each carpet is handmade exclusively for its owner. The company's history began in 1949 when the Drechsle family opened a specialist store selling traditionally knotted oriental carpets. Word of quality and service spread. The company's own production facility in Kathmandu, Nepal, made it possible to produce unusual, individual rugs from 1983 onwards. In addition to playing a pioneering role in the processing of exotic materials such as hemp and nettle, the German family business from Lörrach in Baden is particularly concerned about the careful use of employees and resources. "That's why we at DESIGNERCARPETS pay meticulous attention to working conditions," emphasizes Stefan Drechsle. Child labor is completely frowned upon.
rugs by, with and for Designer
With the possibilities of in-house production, the owner had the idea of breaking new ground: rugs by, with and for Designer. In 1999, he made a Mickey Mouse rug in the Miro style by and for the Swedish actor, director and artist Lasse Åberg. When the carpet was presented in Lasse Brander's gallery at the time, in the old town hall in Inzligen, Stefan Drechsle made the acquaintance of Marianne Panton. They quickly agreed: Verner Panton's carpet designs had to be revived.
Fruitful cooperation
"This meeting was the beginning of a fruitful collaboration," recalls Drechsle. Designs were discussed again and again and carpet samples were produced - until the colors and quality finally satisfied everyone. "The development work took place in very unusual premises, which could not have been designed by anyone other than Verner Panton," says Drechsle with shining eyes.
Start of Designercarpets
It was the beginning of a new direction and the start of DESIGNERCARPETS. After that, Stefan Drechsle met other contemporary Designer. The entrepreneur has been friends with Pierre Paulin since 2004. Karim Rashid designed rugs especially for DESIGNERCARPETS. Patrick Norguet, Carmen Stallbaumer and Arik Levy round off the repertoire of fine and exclusive home textiles made of pure new wool and silk.
