2019 Fabula Living Catalogue.Pdf COLLECTION 2019 Fabula Living Fabula Living has established itself as an international design company deeply rooted in traditional tech- niques, craftsmanship, uncompromising quality and Danish design. We aim to tell stories with our modern rugs by bringing together design, tradition and simp- le style with the oriental techniques. It’s this behind the scenes creative process that makes the designs stand out. Fabula Living is much more than modern interior design. The careful selection of wool, linen, cotton and other raw materials and shades of colour, the passion and patience, the thickness and the de- tails in the weaving are present like invisible threads in all our rugs. 2 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 3 Mogens Koch + Fabula Living In 1959, the Danish architect Mogens Koch (1898-1992) designed a rug with a beautiful square pattern. It was one of many which his wife Ea, a weaver, wove by hand in limited editions for individual customers. From their living room she produced between 300 and 400 rugs, some of which are still in the family’s possession, while others are sought-after vintage objects. Flash forward to 2019, and this unique contribution to Danish design history comes to life again, marking the beginning of a collaboration between Mogens Koch and Fabula Living. The designer Jens Landberg Schrøder browsed through old fol- Manufacturing this creation of an iconic architect and designer ders containing Mogens Koch’s sketches, and from among sixty from the golden era of Scandinavian design enhances the different designs he selected one from 1959. Together with Koch’s heritage of Fabula Living’s own story. son he chose the name Ea for the rug, after the designer’s wife. Mogens Koch’s works have a wide scope: from design and restoration of churches and other buildings, to silver, furniture and textiles. Best known are his famous book cases and folding chair, which define his legacy. His archives contain many other works worthy of a revival; while Fabula Living launches the Ea rug other manufacturers are re-introducing other old pieces, among these a lamp. With his meticulous attention to detail and mathematical focus Mogens Koch was a master of stringent, pure, practical design. His works are classics from a time when Danish cabinetmakers created objects of timeless functional beauty. Each detail has a purpose and there is no superfluous decoration. Fabula Living works in this same spirit, creating modern rugs and continually refining materials and processes. Ea has provided an opportunity to promote our uncompromising passion for quality and fine craftsmanship. 4 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 5 Collection 2019 REFINED HERITAGE The focal point of the new collection is heritage. Fabula Living is launching an original mid-century design by the iconic Mogens Koch. Angular aesthetics, Danish design heritage and modern craftsmanship comes together in Ea. Strong and subtle, the beautiful old geometric graphic design is brought to life in a sublime quality of the finest New Zealand wool balancing harmony and contrasts. A gentle colour palette of beige, charcoal, green, and ocean brings out the essence of Mogens Koch’s timeless designs, which were usu- ally created in more subdued shades. The 2019 collection also features four new designs by Lisbet Friis and Jens Landberg Schrøder. The designs named Lily, Bellis, Ask and Rolf continue to build on the passion to enrich homes with the very best craftsmanship, materials and pared down Scandinavian aesthetic. The tribute to nature is gaining momentum with pure natural coloured wool, and several designs in green shades. Tones like marble and oriental red inspired by gemstones bring a touch of the magical and sumptuous luxury into the collection. 6 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 7 Contents 4 MOGENS KOCH + FABULA LIVING 54 FENRIS 6 COLLECTION 2019 56 GIMLE 58 TANNE 10 EA 60 GORM 12 ASK 62 IRIS 14 BELLIS 64 MYRTUS 16 ROLF 66 HEIMDAL 18 VERONICA 67 HELGA 20 LILY 68 ROSEMARY 22 LOKE 70 DAPHNE 26 GJALL 72 TILIA 30 ODIN 74 NIGELLA 32 THOR 76 POPPY 34 CAMELIA 78 ULMUS 36 LOTUS 80 FAGUS 38 PRIMULA 82 BETULA 40 VIOLA 42 ERICA 84 UNDERLAY 44 ANGELICA 84 HOW TO CARE 46 ELLI 85 MADE TO MEASURE 48 NEW FREJA 85 CERTIFICATES 50 BALDER 8 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 9 Ea Design Mogens Koch Hand-woven loop rug in New Zealand wool on cotton warp 160x240, 200x280 cm Made to measure Please be aware when ordering a tailored Ea rug, the desired length and width need to be divisible by 40 cm. Designed in 1959 by Mogens Koch, one of the iconic Danish architects, and manufactured with Fabula Living’s attention to detail and quality, Ea unites the best of timeless design and modern craftsmanship. The charismatic graphic square pattern gives the rug a subtle presence in a room without dominating the rest of the décor. Made of the finest New Zealand wool, the carefully developed top-of-the-line quality of this rug makes possible the perfect balance of contrasts and harmony honouring the beautiful mid-twentieth-century design. 1818 GREEN 1212 BEIGE 1414 CHARCOAL 2929 OCEAN 10 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 11 Ask Design Jens Landberg Schrøder Hand-loom pile rug in Gabbeh-dyed New Zealand wool and linen on cotton warp 160x230, 200x300 cm Made to measure The uniqueness of this hand loom pile rug stems from a determined process of attention to every single detail. The quality of the New Zealand wool is outstanding and the many experiments mixing wool and a little bit of linen for contrast has resulted in a thicker and more exclusive rug. The linen adds a stylish lustre and a gentle Gabbeh-dye brings the soft shimmering in the pile. The choice of nature inspired colours completes the soft and exclusive design, which is versatile and makes an impact in any room. 1212 BEIGE 1414 CHARCOAL 1616 GREY 12 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 13 Bellis Design Lisbet Friis Hand-woven rug in Gabbeh-dyed New Zealand wool on cotton warp, reversible 140x200, 170x240, 200x300 cm Made to measure Bellis is the new generation of Erica; a thicker, reversible rug in gabbeh-dyed New Zealand wool available in four different colours resembling the changes of the sky throughout a day. From soft, beautiful nude like a rose quartz gemstone to a twilight charcoal grey. All very different colours yet they all have the same depth and tone and work harmoniously together in a room or throughout the house. Up close, the weave reveals tiny dots bringing out the beauty in the colours, which from a distance blur together into a more monochrome shade. 1416 CHARCOAL/GREY 1427 CHARCOAL/LIGHT GREY 3011 ROSE/OFF WHITE 3811 LIGHT BLUE/OFF WHITE 14 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 15 Rolf Design Jens Landberg Schrøder Hand-woven rug in natural coloured New Zealand wool on cotton warp, reversible 140x200, 170x240, 200x300 cm Made to measure With a clean and simple design and pure wool in its natural white, grey and charcoal hues, this hand-woven rug is a step back to nature. The wool is undyed and the subdued life in the tones and textures comes from nature’s own beautiful imperfection. The Rolf rug meets a strong desire for natural and sustainable design. The thick quality makes it a very durable rug with the added bonus of being reversible, which can double the life span. 1112 OFF WHITE/BEIGE 1615 GREY/BLACK 1415 CHARCOAL/BLACK 16 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 17 Veronica Design Lisbet Friis Hand-woven rug in Gabbeh-dyed New Zealand wool on cotton warp 80x240, 140x200, 170x240, 200x300 cm An inviting play with patterns guided by a carefully selected palette of strong calming indigo, deep midnight blue and two new shades of moss green and grey with notes of blue and black make this hand-woven rug in New Zealand wool a beautiful design classic. Quietly saluting the Swedish rag rugs, Veronica brings an instant feel of style and comfort to a room. Like the sister designs of Iris and Myrtus, this is a simple, contemporary style with refined pattern and a three-dimensional visual effect thanks to the special Gabbeh-dye technique. 1616 GREY 1818 GREEN 1717 BLUE 18 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 19 Lily Design Lisbet Friis Hand-loom pile rug in Gabbeh-dyed New Zealand wool on cotton warp 170x240, 200x300 cm Made to measure Four exclusive vivacious colours bring a sense of lush fairy tale to the Lily rug, which is woven with the same hand-loom pile technique as Loke. Lisbet Friis has added her signature touch and created soft harmony and contrasts with stripes. The wool piles have been cut in a special way creating an effect of changing the shine and texture depending on how the light falls on the rug. The Gabbeh-dye enhances the rich natural colours. 1212 MARBLE 1414 SMOKE 1919 ORIENTAL RED 2929 NIGHT SKY 20 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 21 Loke Design Jens Landberg Schrøder Hand-loom pile rug in New Zealand wool on cotton warp 170x240, 200x300, 250x350 cm Made to measure A modern piled rug, made in the finest New Zealand wool, which has a shiny and intense two-toned shimmer despite being uni-coloured. After weaving, the loops have been partly cut using a shaving technique, which has softened the surface and created the enhanced expression of colours. Comes in classic charcoal, beige, light grey, warm terracotta and dusty petrol green. 2727 LIGHT GREY 3737 DUSTY GREEN 1212 BEIGE 22 FABULA LIVING COLLECTION 2019 23 Loke Design Jens Landberg Schrøder Hand-loom pile rug in New Zealand wool on cotton warp 170x240, 200x300, 250x350 cm Made to measure A modern piled rug, made in the finest New Zealand wool, which has a shiny and intense two-toned shimmer despite being uni-coloured.

Traditionally viewed as restorative methods used mainly for consumer clothing and household furnishings, reweaving and reknitting have much potential for adaptation to the repair and stabilization of historic and collectible textiles. Standard textile conservation repair and stabilization techniques utilize hand­ sewn underlay and overlay patches and adhesive-coated underlay supports. Although these techniques can provide practical and time-saving approaches for a wide variety of situations, problems with these techniques can sometimes develop over the long term when issues of structural integrity and appearance are concerned.

  • Carpet a Carpet Is a Textile Floor Covering Consisting of an Upper
    ... Carpet A carpet is a textile floor covering consisting of an upper layer of "pile" attached to a backing. The pile is generally either made from wool or a man made fibre such aspolypropylene, nylon or polyester and usually consists of twisted tufts which are often heat- treated to maintain their structure. Etymology and usage The widespread popularity of carpets has inspired stories of the magic carpet, a legendary carpet that can be used to transport people who are on it instantaneously or quickly to their destination. The term carpet comes from Old French carpite, from Ol d Italian carpita, "carpire" meaning to pluck.[1][2] The term "carpet" is often used interchangeably with the term "rug". ... Some define a carpet as stretching from wall to wall.[3] Another definition treats rugs as of lower quality or of smaller size, with carpets quite often having finished ends. A third common definition is that a carpet is permanently fixed in place while a rug is simply laid out on the floor. Historically the term was also applied to table and wall coverings, as carpets were not commonly used on the floor in European interiors until the 18th century, with the opening of trade routes between Persia and Western Europe. Carpet types Swatches of carpet of tufted construction Drying carpets in a village factory (Ourika Valley, Morocco) Woven The carpet is produced on a loom quite similar to woven fabric. The pile can be plush or Berber. Plush carpet is a cut pile and Berber carpet is a loop pile. There are new styles of carpet combining the two styles called cut and loop carpeting.

  • Rug" by Being Fixed to the Floor Surface and Extending Wall to Wall
    Background Carpet is a textile floor covering that is distinguished from the more general t erm "rug" by being fixed to the floor surface and extending wall to wall. The ea rliest peoples covered the floors of their dwellings with animal skins, grass, o r, later, woven reed mats. When people learned how to spin cotton and wool, wove n mats of these materials largely replaced earlier coverings. Around 3000 B.C. E gyptians sewed brightly colored pieces of woolen cloth onto linen and placed it on their floors. The first carpets of note were woven by nomads. The thick carpets were easy to t ransport and were placed over the sand floor of tent dwellings. Early looms were similarly easy to transport. Two forked branches were joined by a crosspiece ho lding the suspended warp, and a wooden bar was used to flatten binding weft thre ads, while the loose warp ends formed the carpet's pile. The Pazyryk carpet has been documented as the earliest hand loom carpet, dating back from 500 B.C. and discovered in a tomb located in the Alti Mountains in Central Asia. From these early beginnings, carpet weaving rose to its highest art form in Turk ey, Iran, India, and China. Using cotton, linen, or hemp as the foundation, and wool or silk as the luxurious pile, weavers would make a knot out of the pile th read, then form a row of knots that was tightly beaten down. The process was tim e-consuming: some of the finest handmade carpets have as many as 2,400 knots per square inch (372 knots per sq cm).
