A selection of the most significant works of textile art among the current collections of Jan Kath, quite possibly the most famous carpet designer in the world.
Experience an exclusive insight into the world of contemporary rug design and meet the designer Jan Kath at our opening night Wednesday, 19 th April from 6 pm at the Alberto Levi Gallery, Via San Maurilio 24, Milan.
Unconventional, visionary, willful: Jan Kath can be this and more.
Jan Kath is one of the world's most sought-after rug designers. He deliberately breaks with conventional styles and abandons strict design rules. He famously translates the iconography of classical rugs into a modern matrix, mixing the minimalist zeitgeist with oriental opulence, creating a signature style which has distinguished his brand and made it become a leader in contemporary rug art.
The ethos behind Kath’s creations is simple: craftsmanship and preservation. His vision is to conserve ancient techniques through deliberate movement, unfettered by the modern-day mass-production mindset.
‘Islands of well-being in every home’ is how he describes his hand-knotted carpets. His creations have long been known outside of the interior scene and are shown in cutting-edge, artistic contexts such as Art Biennale Beijing, Bangkok Art Biennale, Art Museum Riga Bourse as well as other prestigious venues.
