HISTORY
ORIGINS
The story started back in 1979 when rug businessman Hugo Anthon was greatly inspired by a Copenhagen rug exhibition held by weavers Vibeke Klint and Randi Studsgarth. The new generation of weavers wanted to express their ideas that handcrafted rugs did not necessarily have to be synonymous with oriental aesthetics, but could reflect contemporary Danish design too. This concept appealed to Hugo’s business vision, and Linie Design was subsequently created, along with an enduring collaboration with Vibeke Klint, Kim Naver and Trine Ellitsgaard.
HISTORY

Today, Linie Design continues its collaboration with a number of Danish textile designers, led by Head of Design Urd Moll Gundermann. Our rug collections reflect the unique creative styles of each individual designer, reproduced by hand by skilled artisans in India. Whilst keeping traditional heritage values in high esteem and exceptional quality consistently high, the design team use innovative technology and new techniques to create new dimensions and push boundaries in design.
