The old in the new
Circlism C22
The Mischioff carpet brand has existed for three generations today. Founded in Switzerland after the Second World War by the grandfather of the two current managing directors, Dani and Sascha Misio, the father formed it into one of the leading carpet houses and expanded it into a globally recognized carpet design house by the two sons.
In hardly any of the numerous carpet collections are tradition and change as visible as in the Circlism Collection . Our inspiration this February, a month in which the old year is still noticeable, but the new year is already celebrated with enthusiasm, is the Circlism C22.
The colors from One Thousand and One Nights
The Circlism C22 is certainly not a classic oriental carpet and yet the roots are noticeable. The geometric style, the focus on the circle, the hint of ornament in the center, the lines and colors and, last but not least, the knotting technique and choice of materials - the old is always present in the new. And only those who know the old can create the new with creative power.
Deep, matt shimmering blue and night-time black are the background from which the almost evenly arranged colored circles stand out. They shine brightly in the dark. They almost seem to flicker and sparkle, as if they were in motion. The color palette mixes orange, gray, brown, beige, green and white to create a cheerful combination. The circles are repeatedly broken through, do not clearly separate themselves from the background, and often blur into it.
They are reminiscent of the stories from the Thousand and One Nights that Scheherazade told the king night after night. She never finished a story, but always told the end the following night, when she immediately started the new one again. With this never-ending cycle in which the old is replaced by the new, it ultimately ensured its survival.
A carpet to take off
Flying carpets actually rarely appear in the stories from the Arabian Nights, but with the Circlism C22 you can book a flight through carpet history. It takes several months for a designer carpet like the Circlism C22 to be completely manufactured. weaving the circles with different colors by hand requires great dexterity.
The Tibetan knot is a type of knotting in which a stick is placed in front of the warp across the entire width of the carpet. The yarn is first looped around two threads of the warp and then around the rod. The knots are created when the loops are subsequently cut. With this very special knotting technique, even complex designs like those of the Circlism C22 can be effectively implemented.
Traditional handcraft – fair trade
Hundreds of years ago, the Tibetan art of carpet weaving was brought to Nepal and continued there. The Mischioff carpet manufactory is also at home in Nepal and follows this tradition. Maintaining the special artistry of the weavers who work there is a top priority.
Fair working conditions, fair pay, schooling for the children and always keeping people and their environment in mind - that's why Mischioff joined the fair trade label STEP a long time ago, which means that exactly these maxims can be implemented. The origin of the materials used and the suppliers are also always checked. And this is the only way to achieve Mischioff's demands and quality standards. Quality and humanity characterize the Nepal carpets , which ultimately become lifelong companions for our customers.
