Color and design
We can develop a perfectly coordinated color and design concept to create a carpet that is part of your corporate identity. Choice of color is key: the Geba color palette covers 256 individual hues that can be freely combined to create any design. In addition, all predefined colors (RAL, etc.) can be implemented with precision.
Geba works with two separate carpet studios specialized in the creation of very different designs. One studio uses only natural dyes for coloring, while the other uses synthetics. Synthetic colors are recommended whenever exact color matching is the goal. Natural colors are perfect if there is more room for individuality and chance.
Shape, size, and production time
Individually manufactured rugs of various shapes (e.g. rectangular, square, round, runner, triangle, ellipse, and more) and sizes (including oversized up to a length of 15 m and a width of 10 m) are possible on request. Depending on the size and complexity of the design, production time is approximately 8 to 16 weeks from design approval.
Variety of materials
Tibetan highland sheep wool—sheared, carded, and spun by hand—is our basic material.
TIBETAN HIGHLAND SHEEP WOOL:
• Absorbs moisture and odor and is self-cleaning
• Retains body heat and regulates temperature
• Flame retardant, antistatic, and antibacterial
• Highly elastic and durable
Silk:
• Provides added suppleness
• Gives a soft shine and natural elegance
• High shape stability
• Exceptionally durable and rip resistant
• Fineness allows high knot density
MOHAIR WOOL:
• Absorbs moisture
• Water-repellent
• Warms in winter and cools in summer
• Antibacterial
Vegan Materials
Made from alternative materials, many Geba carpets are particularly suitable for people who are sensitive or allergic to wool.
HEMP:
• rougher surface
• highly robust and durable
• antistatic and dust-repellent
• does not ignite when heated (chars only, up to 1000°C)
• particularly suitable for hallways, kitchens, and spa areas
LINEN:
• cooling and pleasant
• repels bacteria
• almost antistatic
• dirt resistant
SOYSILK:
• Soy silk shares many properties with animal silk.
• shimmering shine
• high moisture absorption
• temperature regulating
• is fully biodegradable
All our carpets with the materials listed above are tested for color fastness and fire resistance (B1 / Q1).
We can also use other materials, such as: Bamboo silk, nettle, viscose, and many others.
Knotting and texture
The Tibetan sling knot makes extraordinary textures possible: Loops are usually cut open after knotting. However, loops can also be left intact for specific parts of the pattern. Mixing cut and intact loops creates an interesting interplay of texture. These effects can be intensified by using different pile heights.
All Geba carpets are made with at least 100 knots per square inch. This density can be increased up to 200 knots per square inch. The finer the knot, the more precisely the pattern can be crafted, imbuing the carpet with additional elegance.
Pile height and relief cuts
The standard pile heights—6, 9, and 12 mm—are made by knotting the yarn onto sticks of varying circumference. Individual heights up to 50 mm can be manufactured on request. Low piles make higher precision designs possible. A higher pile has a softer and cozier feel.
To create a relief-like effect and to make various elements appear more three-dimensional, we trim the pile by hand.
Samples
We can make a 40 x 40 cm sample for any carpet, which will clearly show the colors, design, and materials. Please note that a sample production takes around three weeks.
