The Mashup

Deconstructing the familiar and reconstructing it in a contemporary context – that’s what THE MASHUP Collectors Edition is all about. This edition of THE MASHUP range uses antique oriental rugs as its raw material. After the printing process, the threads are then remixed in a series of complex, hand-crafted steps – eco-friendly by not using chemical bleaches. The result is in an entirely modern style of rug. Individual and saturated with a new form of distinction, THE MASHUP Collectors Edition rugs tell a modern-day story of deep-rooted respect for tradition and craftsmanship.

In 2011 THE MASHUP Collectors Edition was awarded the iF product design award.

Purist. Simple. Just raw. Like its sister from the Concept Edition range, THE MASHUP Pure Edition only uses new quality Persian rugs as the basis for its creations. The difference to THE MASHUP Concept Edition is that for the Pure Edition, only plain carpets are used instead of a patchwork. Because they’re already designed and built to last and stand their ground, THE MASHUP Pure Edition rugs come without anti-slip backing and edges that are simply finished with a handcrafted binding.

One colour. One size module. No decoration. All held together with a single seam of great strength and value - without unfurling. Can anything that looks quite this effortless be any more refined? Hardly. THE MASHUP CUBIK is the logical progression of the basic principle behind the THE MASHUP range. Based on a thousand-year old tradition of hand-knotted oriental carpets, we have transformed MASHUP floorwear into a contemporary design medium using the tools of the 21st century. …and take things a step further. Stringently. The result couldn’t be more modern. Generous. Highly appealing. A proper masterpiece. THE MASHUP CUBIK.

Magma. A life in total darkness. Motion in unyielding stone. Colour in the shadows and heat deep inside the core. These contrasts are in a constant state of interaction and create a force that gives way to the new.

THE MASHUP MAGMA expresses the tension inherent in these elemental forces in every fibre. With its reduced 'smoked black' colour scheme in combination with an iridescent red textile core, displayed in the shearing method the carpet uses, it radiates a mighty sense of vitality that immediately grabs your attention. Tension is created. Back and forth the forces exert pressure on each other. The extra elaborate manufacturing makes THE MASHUP MAGMA a masterpiece of craftsmanship - down to the smallest detail. A true piece of art: THE MASHUP MAGMA.

When traditional surfaces fade, it’s time to clear the way for an injection of modernity. This is THE MASHUP ABSTRCT. Combining the techniques of an oriental rug and refined by the tools of the 21st century, the design, however, is a concept of its origins. Repetitive floral or geometrical patterns? No chance. Traditional colours that are easy on the eyes? Forget it. Grey is the new black. Never dull, THE MASHUP is full of life. Flashes of powerful, glowing red punctuate the monotone grey.

A true test of the elements! Natural equilibrium is restored with an exceptionally tranquil border – in peaceful white.

Flowery. Pictorial. Classic. And yet a wholly contemporary take. We put a lot of skill, love and devotion into THE MASHUP FRESCO SERIES. First, we cut up oriental rugs, the sort with the traditional floral motif. Then we bash on a bright blue. Finally, we put the whole thing through a proper vintage treatment, lending the FRESCO SERIES that faded, yet impressive beauty that wall paintings have.

The carpet’s special features include anti-slide backing and extra-stability bordering made with rubber to keep the design steady and stylish on the floor. Just like a proper design statement should be. Can be reproduced anytime and anywhere. Bright shining blue. Simply très chic. That’s THE MASHUP FRESCO SERIES.
