Linie Design

has always collaborated with a wide range of talented weavers and designers, all contributing to the varying perspectives that expand the aesthetic and artistic confines. Indeed, it was at an exhibition in 1979 in Copenhagen called ‘Genuine Danish Rugs’, where forward-thinking weavers Vibeke Klint and Randi Studsgarth met Linie Design co-founder, Hugo Anthon. Their new ideas about handmaking rugs with a contemporary Nordic expression were innovative concepts that greatly appealed to him. Together with Keld Agerskov, Hugo Anthon then went onto establish Linie Design, where they started a long-term collaboration with the two weavers, and subsequently many others.

Today Linie Design uses both in-house and freelance designers to continue the dynamic process of designing timeless works of art for the floor, collaborating with a number of Scandinavian design profiles such as Kim Naver, Helene Blanche and Marie Louise Rosholm, who are all recognised for their many years of work. Fronted by acclaimed Head of Design Urd Moll Gundermann, Linie Design develops hundreds of rug designs every year that are sold worldwide.

Unmatched Quality

From the outset the mission was clear: to create handwoven rugs that remained true to the Nordic design traditions of uncompromising quality and uncluttered aesthetics, and this still remains the case today.

Unmatched Style

No machine can replicate the skilled hands of Indian master weavers, who using traditional methods passed down through generations to create stunning works of art for the floor. Each weaver has their own individual style, which they have built up over many years of experience. In this way, each rug expresses elements of culture, history and experience, as the weaver’s story is woven into one-of-a-kind pieces of art for the floor.

Natural Quality

Predominantly made from natural materials like wool, linen and cotton, Linie Design’s rugs don’t just add aesthetic value to their surroundings, they also offer excellent warmth and comfort. We source premium materials with consideration for the environment – continually striving to replace regular cotton with organic cotton where possible.

Worth the Wait

All handcrafted rugs involve skilled and meticulous processes, but hand-knotted rugs are by far the most intricate and labour intensive. An experienced weaver can tie an average of 8,000-10,000 knots per day, with bigger rugs requiring up to several weavers working together on one rug at the same time. This ancient and time-honoured technique is extremely time-consuming, demanding great expertise and precision that takes years of practise.
