Custom rugs
A fitting beginning
They have been on the market for decades – and are still modern. They evolve, adapt to the times, and are as unique as the spaces they inhabit: custom rugs. They are also the starting point and guidepost of our company.
What was used 170 years ago for royal households and the aristocracy is still relevant today. A true ANKER carpet. We've returned to our roots with a contemporary, modern twist. Our rugs are on par with our other textile floor coverings in terms of quality and durability – just a bit more flexible in shape and size, sometimes even in color and design. For more variety in your space.
Innovative from the start
When ANKER was founded in 1854, broadloom carpets were unheard of, making custom rugs the first textile floor covering we produced. Initially woven, later tufted, and colored using the warp yarn printing method, all with patterns hand-sketched by our in-house designers.
Alternatively, we also had designs created by renowned personalities such as artists Gustav Kurt Beck and Viktor Vasarely, as well as graphic designers and architects like Prof. Siegmund von Weech, Charlotte Gecks, and Elsbeth Kupferoth. And of course, Prof. Margret Hildebrandt, who designed our famous EXPO rug for the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels.
Uniquely versatile
Although custom rugs fell out of fashion for a while, we have preserved our expertise. Whether tufted or woven, loop or velour, we still produce our rugs in a wide variety of styles.
“As one of the last major weaving mills in Europe, we can not only print custom rugs but also showcase genuine “handcrafted” quality by controlling various patterns through our weaving machines. This allows us to offer new possibilities for interior design.”
Nina Leonhard, Dipl. Designer
Latest trends and time-tested classics
Over 170 years, many designs, and patterns have been created. Our latest creation, VITURA, features printed velour design rugs in various patterns, shapes, and sizes, always perfectly suited to the space and its use.
Of course, we can also create custom rugs from existing collections, such as …
- PERLON RIPS
- AERA (including AERA CUT, STRUCTURE and BIGLOOP)
- PEP
- KASHMIR
- ELYSEE
- FLAT
- TAURUS (RIPS and KONTUR)
For design-oriented projects, we can also develop individually tailored (multi-warp) Jacquard woven carpets as rugs – for example, we have reinterpreted Prof. Hildebrandt's Expo rug based on TEXRA.
For those seeking something truly special: Our design team comprises true masters of pattern creation, capable of conceiving and implementing unique designs. To ensure these designs always make the right impression, all our rugs are equipped with our proprietary ANKER anti-slip coating. For more safety, stability, and statement.
