Inspirations<br />
NOBILIS has always collaborated with major designers: a philosophy meaning that it can offer an ever-renewed vision of artistic creation.<br />
This year, the marvel of the meeting between JakubD. Staron and Richard Aouate has led to the discovery of an exceptionally creative imagination<br />
and a remarkable personality. Jakub D. Staron has forged a name in the United States that puts him in the very front rank of carpet designers, and<br />
his arrival in France with <strong>Nobilis</strong> has now confirmed this reputation in Europe. An insatiable reinventer of techniques who is constantly present at<br />
his craft workers' side, Jakub D. Staron truly weaves a spell with his creations, drawing on both the past and a present that presages the future.<br />
The new <strong>Nobilis</strong> collection shown in this catalogue is inspired by travel, art and highly skilled crafts. It is the result of combining traditional knowhow<br />
with the demands of Western fashion houses. Abstract and figurative patterns mingle to create a singular atmosphere.<br />
With its architecture of the material, exploration of traditional techniques and technical experience, each rug is the outcome of a close relationship<br />
with our weaver partners. This has been built up through the mutual discovery of specific cultural features, expressing the original intention and<br />
the resulting interpretation. Imaginativeness and the perceptive decisions shared by Richard Aouate and designer Perrine Blaise resonate at the<br />
core of this collection.<br />
Set off with us to explore a world rich in sensations and discoveries!<br />
Savoir-faire<br />
Where tradition and modernity meet, where simplicity and perfection of the movements learned and passed down are expressed, where the<br />
pursuit of innovation for creativity is revealed. The choice of fibres, the search for distinctive character and technical innovation are all fascinating<br />
areas that make this a shared adventure, full of joy in creation.<br />
Close partnership with our workshops, the human touch and social responsibility - these values are of special importance to <strong>Nobilis</strong>.<br />
You can consult us for a personalised product: your size, your colours. <strong>Nobilis</strong> studies all types of request for both private and public projects.<br />
Editorial Richard Aouate<br />
“As a long-time admirer of artists and respectful of their approach, I first fell under the spell of Jakub D. Staron's prolific creation, and was then<br />
drawn into his imaginative world, enchanted by both his achievements and the man himself. The virtuoso synthesis of artistry and technique<br />
evinced by his career filled me with wonder, and I immediately felt the desire to start up a collaborative project.<br />
There is a clear coherence between the style developed by <strong>Nobilis</strong> and Jakub D. Staron's extraordinary world: a marvellous meeting between<br />
the former's elegance and the latter's quest for beauty and originality.”<br />
Jakub D. Staron<br />
Jakub Staron, is a native of Poland. He holds a Masters Degree in both fine art and weaving. Originally, he worked in London restoring historic<br />
rugs and carpets. His move to the U.S. expanded his expertise to include the design and manufacturing of contemporary, traditional, and<br />
transitional rugs. He personally oversees the manufacturing of his products in collaboration with craftsmen throughout the Far East, and<br />
maintains long-standing relationships with mills and weavers throughout the world. Staron’s personal goal is to continuously move forward<br />
and produce exceptional patterns, designs and methods, not seen before in the carpet making industry.<br />
Jakub strives to be inventive, satisfy the fascination, and meet the demands for high end, individual products. While his work is rooted in<br />
history, Jakub mixes traditional elements with the modern to produce unique textures, patterns and distinctive collections that are truly works<br />
of art. Staron is the consummate purveyor of exquisite rugs, carpeting and broadloom, all designed with a craftsmen’s skill and a painter’s eye.<br />

Qualities<br />
■ Hand tufted<br />
The design is printed on a cotton weave stretched over a<br />
frame. The velvet is obtained by inserting the threads into<br />
the cloth using a “gun”. Latex is applied to the back of the<br />
rug to hold the threads in place then the velvet is sheared<br />
or left boucle, depending on the desired effect. Double<br />
backing completes the finishing of the rug.<br />
■ Hand knotted<br />
Stitch by stitch, the threads are knotted on a cloth.<br />
The pattern, on squared paper, is placed on top of the<br />
loom. The number of knots determines the quality and<br />
finesse of the design. This technique takes longer than<br />
the hand tufted option.<br />
■ Hand weave<br />
Done on a flat loom or a shuttle loom, this technique is<br />
particularly suitable for simple or unified designs. The<br />
boucle formed by the weaving is maintained by the<br />
fabric and can remain boucle or be cut into velvet.<br />
The weave may also be flat, in which case the coloured<br />
weft will completely cover the warp, in the kilim or<br />
dhurrie style.<br />
■ Effects, sculpting<br />
Different heights are possible for velvets, as they are for<br />
boucle. Playing with these reliefs gives great creative<br />
freedom. Sculpting may take place at the finishing<br />
stage to accentuate a shape, sculpt the material or even<br />
accentuate the separation of shades.<br />
Technichal informations<br />
Sizes<br />
The artisan manufacturing of our rugs may cause a slight<br />
difference in sizes, not exceeding 3%. When a rug is<br />
intended for a particular sized space, it is important to let<br />
us know this when you order. Some of our hand-made<br />
models are available in different shapes or sizes (ask us<br />
for details).<br />
Colours<br />
Despite the care taken in dyeing the fibres and the<br />
checks that are made, there may be a slight bath<br />
difference between one product and another.<br />
