February 2017

Jaipur Rugs is proud to announce that their latest collection ‘Unstring’ by designer Kavi has become the first ever Indian collection of rug designs to win at the annual Carpet Design Awards 2017 for Best Modern Collection in Hanover, Germany.

Described as a play of a million colored threads, the award-winning collection celebrates human experience within design and different weaving processes. The resultant is a rhythmic artwork played upon the chords of warp and weft of a loom. Each rug in the collection has been created by hand weaving nearly 200,000 asymmetric knots with the finest hand-carded, hand-spun wool and bamboo silk in every square meter.

The world's finest designer carpets and rugs have been awarded at the 2017 Carpet Design Awards, held at DOMOTEX in Hannover, Germany. The award is regarded to be "Oscars" of international carpet avant-garde, having completed twelve successful years at Domotex.

‘Unstring’ by Kavi emerged as a winner from over 386 entries from 21 countries across the globe, for Best Modern Collection 2017 announced at CDA award ceremony on 15th January 2017 in Germany. Rugs were chosen for outstanding design, quality and craftsmanship by internationally renowned jury members.
