Svarga SV07

The Svarga Collection from Mischioff has enjoyed great success since its initial presentation in 2019. Pure silk carpets, high pile, exceptional in design and color – each one a work of art in handcrafted carpet making.

And now a new designer rug joins the collection: the Svarga SV07. Compared to the other Svarga rugs, it appears almost understated, but this impression may be deceiving, because the Svarga SV07 is anything but shy.

Things that are meant to be good take time

A room can hardly be decorated more gracefully and comfortably than with a high-pile carpet made of pure silk. Carpets with a fiber length of more than one centimeter are considered high-pile in the industry. If the fibers are more than three or four centimeters long, they are shaggy .

Our Svarga SV07, with a pile height of two centimeters, is indeed a high-pile carpet, but it is far from having a shaggy appearance. This is due in no small part to the handcrafted workmanship and the knot density of 160,000 knots per square meter.

The hand Weaving of a carpet from pure natural materials, the preservation of this millennia-old tradition, stands in stark contrast to today's prevailing, rather hectic, sense of time. Besides all the other qualities that define a high-quality carpet, time is the very special ingredient that makes a carpet unique and extraordinary. The experienced carpet weavers at the Mischioff Manufactory in Nepal are able to weaving approximately 10,000 knots a day. It therefore takes more than two weeks to weaving just one square meter of our Svarga SV07. To complete the Svarga SV07 in its standard size, three months are required. Three months of pure knotting work.

Before we can begin, however, the weaving yarn must be produced, as we only purchase raw silk and make the yarn ourselves. We also produce our own dyes for the yarn. Only when this work is completed and everything is ready can the Weaving begin. Then comes the finishing. The edges of the rug are bound, and all the fibers are trimmed to the same height. Washing, drying, and stretching the rug takes many more hours, so that after about four months, a Svarga SV07 can finally begin its journey to Switzerland and from there to its owner.

Hochflor Seidenteppich Svarga Collection, Design SV07

No, he's not shy

The SV07 from our Svarga Collection is crafted from the finest material available today for carpet making: the purest Chinese silk. This silk carpet is meticulously handcrafted over months by experienced weavers. The design comes from a renowned design duo, loved worldwide for their exceptional creations. A glance at the Svarga SV07 reveals its masterful craftsmanship: the color scheme is elegant and understated, yet the contrast captivates the eye.

The design, the subtle stripes, the ornamentation of the central axis, visible only from a distance – all this is a tribute to the tradition of great carpet craftsmanship. The radiance generated by the color and design alone is further enhanced by the pure silk fiber with its unique sheen. No, the Svarga SV07 is anything but shy. It possesses all the qualities to make its owners soar.

Respect and appreciation – fair prices

This time, woven into every fiber of the carpet, is an expression of a very special feeling about life, to which every owner of a Mischioff carpet subscribes. It represents respect and appreciation for what nature gives us in terms of materials, and no less respect and appreciation for the people who, with their artistry, are able to weaving carpets that bring joy for a lifetime.

For over a decade, the Swiss certification label STEP has been a partner of Mischioff. STEP employees are based in Nepal and share with us the responsibility of ensuring that respect and appreciation are practiced wherever Mischioff operates as Retailer and employer. Not only the people directly involved in the production of the fair trade carpets , but also their families, and especially the children who are able to attend kindergartens and schools, benefit from the excellent collaboration with STEP.
