BESPOKE<\/h2>\n

For Oliver Treutlein Carpets, every bespoke creation begins with a conversation around material, craftsmanship and atmosphere. For more than
\nfour decades, the tight-knit family-run German company has developed custom carpets for yachts, private residences and architectural interiors, each one conceived not simply as a surface, but as an integral part of a space\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Created for the Skylounge of M\/Y Agnetha (pictured here), OT\u2019s bespoke carpet was designed

Let \u201ccolour\u201d speak<\/h2>\n

OT\u2019sphilosophy finds a compelling expression aboard M\/Y Agnetha, the 55-metre Heesen yacht whose Skylounge provided the setting for one of the German company\u2019s most technically demanding and visually evocative recent creations. Designed in collaboration with LUCA DINI Design & Architecture, the rug was conceived not as an accessory, but as the emotional and visual anchor of the room – a landscape underfoot that brings the entire interior into dialogue. As Silvia Margutti, Lead Architect at Luca Dini\u2019s studio notes, \u201cthe brief that defines the vessel\u2019s interior was rooted in the vision of quiet luxury – but it found this true voice through a dialogue with Laurens Last, whose arrival at the helm of Heesen brought a fresh and new approach, fully reflected in the chromatic energy of this rug, a willingness to let \u201ccolour\u201d speak.\u201d The concept draws on the meeting of sea and land, translating natural atmosphere into texture and tone. Sweeping through pale, aqueous shades into notes of caramel, amber and rich ochre, the design evokes water, sun-warmed stone and the soft glow of skin after a long afternoon at sea. Organic and immersive, it introduces colour not as ornament, but as mood: fresh, warm and quietly radiant.
\nTo realise this effect in material form, OT combined 100% velvet wool – selected from the finest and purest New Zealand wool fibres – with 100% pure silk. This pairing creates an exceptionally even surface capable of carrying the design\u2019s sculptural depth, while the contrast between the two noble fibres enhances the play of light across the carpet. The result is a surface that feels both serene and alive, changing subtly with movement and shifting daylight. Its painterly gradient was among the project\u2019s greatest challenges. In order to achieve a seamless chromatic flow across the rug, 35 individual tones were dyed and blended into one another, with colour transitions changing every two to three centimetres throughout the piece. This extraordinary level of modulation demanded not only precision in planning, but an intense degree of technical control during production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The rug\u2019s distinctive three-dimensional carved effect added a further layer of complexity. Executed entirely by hand, this sculptural finish could only be entrusted to OT\u2019s most experienced craftspeople and required a full week of dedicated work on this piece alone. It is this mastery of technique – where artisanal skill meets aesthetic restraint – that continues to define the Treutlein approach.
\nTiming, too, was critical. Created for presentation aboard Project Agnetha during the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, the entire piece was completed within just eight weeks. From the selection of raw materials to dyeing, handcrafting and final delivery, each stage had to align seamlessly. Finished late on a Monday night, the rug departed the Meerbusch headquarters the following morning with OT\u2019s fitting team and was installed on board in the early hours of Wednesday, just as the show began.
\nThe finished design does more than complete the Skylounge – it gathers it. Against walnut, light oak, bronze, fabric and art, the carpet establishes cohesion through softness, movement and colour. Here, Oliver Treutlein Carpets demonstrates what it does best: transforming extraordinary craftsmanship into an atmosphere that is felt as much as seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
