Jan Kath

The Salone del Mobile.Milano and Milan Design Week took place from 16 to 21 April 2024 – read our review to find out what moves the industry and the guests got to see.

Parallel to this year's Salone del Mobile.Milano, the 5VIE Design Week took place in the historic centre of Milan. The focus of the tenth edition of the event: art and collector design, craftsmanship as well as the connection of design with the fields of art and creativity in the broadest sense.

Over the last two decades, Jan Kath has once again transformed the carpet into a positive must-have. That said, with his collection “Spectrum” he appears to be moving more into the realms of abstract art.

Jan Kath designs and produces extravagant hand-knotted and hand-tufted carpets. Jasmin Jouhar spoke to him about his floor work.

It serves as flooring, wall decoration, a place to pray or sit comfortably: across cultures, rugs fulfil many functions in everyday life. The current exhibition Wool. Silk. Resistance. at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main reveals another: as a striking medium for socio-political commentary.

The Salone del Mobile.Milano and the Milan Design Week took place from 8 to 13 April 2025. In the review, you can find out which ideas are currently moving the creative minds and which concepts were particularly impressive.

From 13 to 16 March 2025, Münchner Stoff Frühling will have a new addition this year: the Munich Design Days will take place for the first time alongside the established event for textile interior design.

Head now – for Cologne. From January 16-22, it’s imm cologne time again – and there’s a lot to discover round and about the city, too. Not just for the man without qualities. Here’re the most important items.

At the DOMOTEX 2015 press conference in Berlin the designer and special guest of Innovations@DOMOTEX, Roberto Palomba from Milan, and carpet designer Jan Kath met for the first time ever. The pair soon started chatting about tattoo carpets, silky clouds and doing creative work in the air. An interview by Martina Metzner.

Kortrijk’s Biennale Interieur does justice to its reputation this time. Despite the one or other error of judgment, it makes living and interiors an experience for all to enjoy.

What is of interest to a designer at a trade fair like the Domotex in Hanover? Uta Abendroth accompanied Petra Blaisse, founder of Amsterdam studio Inside Outside, on a tour of the fair and discussed traditiony, art works and inspiration with her. Oh, and good taste, as well.

The times when flooring led an existence as the Cinderella of the interior design world are over. The whole industry has discovered its creative side and carpeting has received something of an image makeover over the past few years. But wooden and laminate flooring aren’t far behind. This year, Domotex in Hanover even put on a special show on its leading theme “Flooring Deluxe”, curated by designer Stefan Diez.

The imm Cologne is swiftly getting back on an even keel. And how are designers and manufacturers making use of the opportunity? A tour of the trade fair shows that they often resorted to the tried-and-true, reanimating and dressing it up for contemporary use. Even Konstantin Grcic opted for a tongue-in-cheek approach to a design classic.

A trade fair consists of individual booths. However, this is not necessarily the best possible solution, as the new "Pure Textile" section demonstrates. There you will still find any number of light, fine, spring-fresh and elegant fabrics, but they are still all isolated. Moreover, one other thing is clear: tables and sofas are clawing their way back onto the carpet.
