Design and Approach
-
Close Cooperation
In our cooperation with the Bedouin women, we want to maintain the simplicity and restraint of the traditional weaving technique. And to give the design a more contemporary feel with colours that suit Nordic homes.
We emphasize the natural colours of the surrounding landscape; the dusty desert with its earthy colours. With splashes of pink, yellow or green - just as the small flowers that bloom for a short while in the early spring in the desert.

Leave room for interpretation
Our approach to design is to always leave room for the artisans’ own interpretation. Sketches and designs are never definitive. And in that space, we receive wonderful unexpected gifts. The gift of variations and small irregularities that we love.
The artisan’s process is an important part of bringing our design to life.

Design
KUSINER Carpets is a fusion of ancient Bedouin weaving skills and a strong Nordic design tradition: Just as weaving is deeply rooted in Bedouin nomadic culture – so is the tradition of functional and effortless Danish design.
Part of our Bedouin Rugs and the whole Jute Colellection is designed in cooperation with renowned textile designer Barbara Bendix Becker - who herself is a skilled weaver with a strong and sophisticated sense of design.
