The highest international accolade for modern handmade carpets will be awarded at DOMOTEX for the eleventh time. Since 2015 the competition has been held as part of Innovations@DOMOTEX.
Judging for the Carpet Design Awards was particularly difficult this year as there were so many high-quality entrants. A trend seems to be emerging for more texture to be knotted and woven into the carpets such that they make a more physical than visual statement. The trend is more towards overall texture rather than artistic design as in the past.
Chaired by British designer Michael Sodeau, the jury selected carpets that unite design and craftsmanship in an outstanding way. The carpets and rugs were judged on their design and design concept, material, execution, structure, quality, sustainability and branding.
