The maker
Elif Demirtaş
19 years at the loom in Hereke, Kocaeli. We have bought from this workshop since 2011 and pay the price they set.
Everything Elif has woven for usLook closer
Count the knots yourself
This piece is woven at 800 knots per square inch, which works out at roughly 1,860,004 knots in total — every one tied by hand by Elif Demirtaş, over 15 months.
Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.
The same test works in the shop, on any carpet, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
