Maze and Trace, the two new designs in our 4-Minute Rug collection, combine a touch of grandeur with a down-to-earth feel. Where Maze embraces the earthy tones of materials like stone and clay, Trace is all about marble. The 4-Minute Rug collection is so named due to its featured designs all having been created in less than four minutes. This process facilitates a relinquishing of any creative rigidity and allows for free flowing, gestural strokes to come to the fore.
We are delighted to show the exhibition Side by Side with Anahita Sadighi and Maj van der Linden. In addition to our Tie Dye collection, rugs such as Tiger and As Simple As enter into a dialog with items from Anahita Sadighi's antique collection and contemporary objects by Dieter Detzner.
We are interested in dissolving the boundaries between old and new as well as perfection and imperfection and the dialog between the individual positions.

For a remake of our classic collection to mark our 10th anniversary, we were inspired by Renaissance painters and developed a new knotting technique as well as a new world of colors, borrowed from the wonderful color pigments of the Renaissance - from the strong Burnt Umber to the golden Naples Yellow to the delicate Azurite - the color palette of our Classic Soumaks includes seventeen nuances that fit seamlessly into classic and modern interiors and capture the spirit of the Renaissance in a powerful play of colors. The 'Monteverdi' and 'Satie' designs are each available in these colors and, as always, in customized sizes.

In November we will show our latest collection Tie Dye to the public for the first time.
Sixty rugs, tapestries and textile works by independent artists as well as established studios, are presented in an exhibition by the scenographer Hervé Sauvage.
It will be a hymn to contemporary textile creation and is open to professionals and the general public.

10 interior designers were allowed to design 10 studios ready for occupancy in downtown Munich and give free rein to their vision of contemporary living.
The fact that three of these 10 interior studios chose to work with Reuber Henning when it came to choosing their carpets is, of course, something we think is super. All the designs used were adapted by us to the needs of the rooms. We would like to thank Antonius Schimmelbusch, Patrick Batek and Robert Stephan for their trust and are looking forward to the results.
The event AD X Bauwerk new persepectives will take place from September 15th to 16th in Munich. The apartments can be visited by the public.
is our RIB collection by Studio Besau Marguerre. The designer duo created the new foyer for the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe Hamburg and used RIB in tufted quality.
While grey stone dominates for other designers, Studio Besau Marguerre dares to use color. Blue, orange, and yellow are their favourites and these ensure that the greyness of everyday life remains outside as one enters the hall.
Thanks for your courage and bravo for the concept.
Posters were yesterday, today it's all about rugs. And not on the floor, but on the wall.
Fascinated by the tragic story of Count Ladislaus von Fraunberg, the Austrian designer Laurids Gallée has created a tapestry that is now available in a 25-piece limited edition in the sizes 250x250cm or 300x300cm.
The specially designed and handmade mounting with two large wooden clouds makes it a real must-have.
Buy rugs, folks. Life is too short for bad design.
As part of the exhibition EAST to WEST, Reuber Henning is presenting Ladislaus as a limited edition tapestry based on a tragic love story from the 16th century.
A blue-flame leopard falls from the sky through the pitch black night, while the full moon rises above the event behind a veil of clouds and rain. What sounds like the scene from a legend is the motif of a new rug by Reuber Henning. The painting is based on the tragic story of Count Ladislaus von Fraunberg, who lost one woman to death and the second to a monastery. He died without heirs, distraught over his fate.
The textile collector's item is produced according to the design of Austrian product designer Laurids Gallée in a limited edition on request. sThe tapestry can be admired at Schloss Hollenegg for Design as part of the exhibition EAST to WEST, curated by Alice Stori Liechtenstein, and remains an integral part of Schloss Hollenegg's inventory.

Our new woven rug collection RIB was created in lockdown under the aegis of the design Studio Besau Marguerre. The two Hamburg-based designers have approached woven textiles with great passion and developed unusual rugs that are both playful and puristic. Both the bright colors and variants in classic black and white set our rug hearts aflutter.
In stores starting fall 2021.
Who says rugs must always be on the floor?
For the newly opened hotel "Haus im Tal" in downtown Munich, we made wall-hangings for each of the 50 rooms. Julie Richoz is the name of the young French designer who designed these minimalist pieces with just a few strokes. Nice that our hand-woven kilims are part of this great location.
The Haus im Tal combines cutting-edge technology with old-fashioned hospitality to offer a new kind of travel experience in central Munich. The 50-room guesthouse and social club breaks down the boundary between traveler and local and creates a space for both.
They can still be found, the good things.
But who manufactures them – and first and foremost: how?
At the first AD House of Crafts it’s all about one topic: good handicraft and its creators.
From 13 through 15 September 2019, Architectural Digest presents traditional manufactures, young talents and experienced craftsmen on a surface of over 600 m2 in the warehouse of the Army Bakery in Berlin.
We are proud to be part of the design show curated by AD.

For many years, we have been traveling to Nepal and India regularly to visit the workshops where our hand-knotted and hand-woven rugs are produced. Apart from the creation of new collections, our concern for these countries and their people is becoming more pronounced each year. Their unending patience, kindness and joie de vivre inspire us and show us how little it takes to be happy.
What could be more exciting than seeing our rugs while they are still on the looms, being made?
Here, you can watch true masters of their craft and admire their incredible dexterity up close. In the workshops, men and women work together in small groups, the tone is easy-going. The age-old tradition of knotting rugs has been carried forward almost unchanged.
On the loom right now is "Shibori Wave", a design from the Shibori Collection, inspired by the Japanese dyeing technique of the same name: Soft pastels and gentle colour transitions prevail, mohair adds an extravagant touch.
Of course, there is someone who inspects all rugs on site: Rainer Jedinat. Originally from Reutlingen in Swabia, he has been living in Nepal for more than 20 years and knows all there is to know about rugs: knot density, warp tension or colour control, nothing escapes his eye. He is an ardent advocate of superior craftsmanship with high demands on production standards.
The loom itself looks rather ancient, not modern at all. The carefully stretched warp threads form the basis of each hand-knotted rug. The knotting tools look just as archaic and never cease to amaze us – we cannot visit Nepal without taking another photo of panja and thuwa.
Looking at "Fantaisie Impromptu" from the "Lost in Translation" Collection, there is always a new detail to discover, since it offers so many colours, shapes and different materials – pure joie de vivre that seems to be contagious, triggering the same feeling in the person knotting the rug.
Amazing still lives can be found anywhere in Kathmandu: mugs and bowls, pots and cans of the most amazing shapes and colours – which goes to show that beauty can be found in the street or just behind a hut.
Working with approximately 20 base colours, an experienced dyer can easily produce up to 2.000 different shades. How is this supposed to be possible? It requires a great deal of experience, patience and sensitivity, since each material reacts differently and not even two types of wool are alike.
Visvakarma, the deity of the creative power that sustains the universe, can be found where there is electricity or on building sites. However, we have never been able to figure out where key no. 3 might be.
The workers of our Nepalese workshop do not dress up like this every Saturday – only if we bring our camera. This portrait shows Ravin Subba, in charge of production at the workshop, with his wife Shanta Rai and his daughter Ninwa Hangma Limbu. Like many of their colleagues, they also live at the workshop. Ravin's know-how, diligence and patience are truly unequalled. We could never do without him!
Visiting workshops in rural areas is always one of the highlights of our journey. It takes more than 1½ hours on dusty tracks, immersed in street life, to visit Sartaj and his wife Safeen. Here, daily life and the weaving of rugs take place under the same roof. It is fascinating to watch them work together in their smooth routine, their well-established, soothing rhythm. Currently, they are making a rug for Kostas Murkudis, which he and his brother Andreas Murkudis plan to exhibit at the Berlin Gallery Weekend in late April.
Finishing Time!
It feels great when all that remains to be done is to sew on the label and the rug will be ready for delivery! These beautiful tapestries, contrived by French designer Julie Richoz, will all be sent to Munich to adorn the new hotel "Haus im Tal".
Just as behind (almost) every great man, there is a great woman, behind us, there is a great workshop with three great men: Thank you, Tausif, Ausaf and Tanvir! You always make us feel at home – and we are missing the delicious curries you serve us!

We are proud to be featured in the latest issue of AD magazine. Thank you for the great portrait and interview, AD Germany! We feel really honoured.
Travel broadens the mind, they say. Our journeys to the countries where our rugs are produced are definitely characterized by many new impressions. Often, we will be surprised by how much is possible on the production side: much more than we imagine! Thus, it is not just fun to travel to India and Nepal, but we always learn a lot as well: about wool dyeing, about weaving and its endless possibilities, about the final steps that have to be undertaken before a rug is finished – and about the locals’ approach to dealing with new challenges. We always find that while communication works very well in English, it takes joint on-site experiences to develop a real mutual understanding.
"Staircase", the second masterpiece resulting from our cooperation with BLESS, takes us and the viewer into the world of architecture, climbing and descending: a trompe l'oeil, not painted, but knotted.
Based on an idea by Bless, we have turned a photo of a staircase into a design plate and ultimately, into a beautiful hand-knotted rug produced in Nepal. Made from Tibetan wool and silk in 45 different shades of grey, the rug consists of more than 1.7 million knots.
The design makes use of perspective to create an optical illusion of three-dimensionality. Where does the way lead to? It is up to you and your imagination!
Just like its predecessor, the "Carpethammock", "Staircase" plays with our visual conventions, allowing for new perceptions and perspectives.
The question is: What will be next? The flying carpet?

For the exhibition BLESS N° 56 WORKERS' DELIGHT, on show at the Vitra Design Museum from 10 June – 9 October 2016, Reuber Henning have established a very special collaboration with Berlin label BLESS: Based on the Reuber Henning design Casablanca Flowers, they have developed the "Carpethammock", which takes its place in a series of redefined hammocks (BLESS N°28 Climat Confusion Assistance).
In line with the concept of the Readymade, the rug has been removed from its traditional place, the floor, almost unchanged. Within the context of the project, it has been redefined as a suspended, moving piece of furniture, a luxury place to sleep and work.
