Limited Edition, the Belgian rug manufacturer, has launched an exclusive collection of handmade rugs in collaboration with architect Caroline Notté, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus style. The collection includes several designs inspired by unexpected color combinations and geometric shapes that pay homage to this iconic artistic movement. Each rug is made of Pure Wool and Wool Silk and Rectangle and Circular and is hand tufted by experts, guaranteeing a truly unique piece. Each design is available in any shape and size.
Limited Edition has grown over time into a leading international company that employs 200 people, maintains showrooms in Paris, and boasts an impressive list of client relationships and projects. Yet local relationships and a personal approach continue to be of particular importance. Bound by a passion for interior design, Katia Dewitte and her husband Philippe Hanet, along with Katia's brother James Dewitte, personally run the company.
The accomplished in-house design team is led by Creative Director and founder of Limited Edition, Katia Dewitte. Her personal trademark is a commitment to timeless elegance and a clear-eyed, forward-thinking vision. Katia spends a great deal of time traveling worldwide, providing inspiration for her designs and design collections. Her passion for colors and fabrics give her a precise idea of how to incorporate them into collections.
Limited Editions weaving and tufting manufacturing has recently expanded to include a dyeing and spinning facility. Based on a passion and knowledge of the importance of color in interior design, the artisan rug maker established a dyeing facility in Belgium - in close proximity to LE headquarters. Recently, the company has invested in a spinning mill to further the vertical integration of all manufacturing processes within the production of custom-made carpets.

Bauhaus Rugs, Textile Design and Modern Interiors
Bauhaus rugs bring together geometry, material clarity and spatial order in a way that remains highly relevant for contemporary
interiors. Whether described as a Bauhaus rug, Bauhaus carpet,
geometric Bauhaus rug or modern design rug, the woven surface is
not treated as decoration alone, but as part of the architecture of the room.
From the logic of the Bauhaus textile workshop to the discipline of Bauhaus textile design, these rugs connect rhythm, structure and proportion with contemporary
living. This makes them relevant for collectors, architects, interior designers and anyone searching for modern rugs with a stronger
cultural and formal foundation.
Geometry and Structure
Geometry in Bauhaus Rugs
Geometry was one of the clearest visual languages of the Bauhaus. Circle, line, square and grid were not arbitrary motifs, but
systems of order. In geometric Bauhaus rugs, these principles become woven form. Movement
becomes rhythm, rhythm becomes structure, and the carpet becomes a calm architectural surface.
This is what distinguishes a true Bauhaus-inspired rug from generic modern rugs. The strongest Bauhaus rugs are measured, balanced
and spatially aware, making them relevant both for collectors of Bauhaus design and for anyone searching for modern rugs, Bauhaus
carpets or a design rug with historical depth.
Workshop and Method
Bauhaus Textile Design and the Weaving Workshop
The foundation of this language lies in the Bauhaus textile workshop and in the
development of Bauhaus textile design. Here, textiles were understood as systems of density,
movement and structure rather than surface effect.
This is why Bauhaus wool rugs remain essential within the wider category. Natural fibers add
tactile depth, durability and softness, while preserving the material intelligence of the original weaving workshop.
Artists and Influence
Artists Behind the Bauhaus Rug Language
The Bauhaus rug vocabulary cannot be separated from the artists who shaped it. Gunta Stölzl gave the
weaving workshop a structural direction. Anni Albers expanded textile thinking through material
experimentation and architectural clarity.
A modern rug for living room use often has to do more than add softness. It defines
zones, guides movement and introduces order. This is exactly where Bauhaus thinking remains relevant. A rug becomes part of the
room’s structure rather than a decorative afterthought.
Terms such as modern rugs, design rugs, Bauhaus area rug or living room rug often overlap. What makes the Bauhaus version distinct
is the combination of clarity, proportion and material discipline found in Bauhaus area rugs and
Bauhaus style rugs.
