E15 Kavir Carpet
KAVIR CARPET
KAVIR CARPET
Designed by Philipp Mainzer + Farah Ebrahimi, 2007
The design of the Kavir carpet presents a modern and exuberant reinterpretation of the traditionally knotted Persian carpet.
On the short sides, the single-toned surface extends into contrasting knotted fringes, which are more than just a design detail, as they highlight the handwoven aspect of the carpet.
