Inspirations
NOBILIS has always collaborated with major designers: a philosophy meaning that it can offer an ever-renewed vision of artistic creation.
This year, the marvel of the meeting between JakubD. Staron and Richard Aouate has led to the discovery of an exceptionally creative imagination
and a remarkable personality. Jakub D. Staron has forged a name in the United States that puts him in the very front rank of carpet designers, and
his arrival in France with Nobilis has now confirmed this reputation in Europe. An insatiable reinventer of techniques who is constantly present at
his craft workers' side, Jakub D. Staron truly weaves a spell with his creations, drawing on both the past and a present that presages the future.
The new Nobilis collection shown in this catalogue is inspired by travel, art and highly skilled crafts. It is the result of combining traditional knowhow with the demands of Western fashion houses. Abstract and figurative patterns mingle to create a singular atmosphere.
With its architecture of the material, exploration of traditional techniques and technical experience, each rug is the outcome of a close relationship
with our weaver partners. This has been built up through the mutual discovery of specific cultural features, expressing the original intention and
the resulting interpretation. Imaginativeness and the perceptive decisions shared by Richard Aouate and designer Perrine Blaise resonate at the
core of this collection.
Set off with us to explore a world rich in sensations and discoveries!
Savoir-faire
Where tradition and modernity meet, where simplicity and perfection of the movements learned and passed down are expressed, where the
pursuit of innovation for creativity is revealed. The choice of fibres, the search for distinctive character and technical innovation are all fascinating
areas that make this a shared adventure, full of joy in creation.
Close partnership with our workshops, the human touch and social responsibility - these values are of special importance to Nobilis.
You can consult us for a personalised product: your size, your colours. Nobilis studies all types of request for both private and public projects.
Editorial Richard Aouate
“As a long-time admirer of artists and respectful of their approach, I first fell under the spell of Jakub D. Staron's prolific creation, and was then
drawn into his imaginative world, enchanted by both his achievements and the man himself. The virtuoso synthesis of artistry and technique
evinced by his career filled me with wonder, and I immediately felt the desire to start up a collaborative project.
There is a clear coherence between the style developed by Nobilis and Jakub D. Staron's extraordinary world: a marvellous meeting between
the former's elegance and the latter's quest for beauty and originality.”
Jakub D. Staron
Jakub Staron, is a native of Poland. He holds a Masters Degree in both fine art and weaving. Originally, he worked in London restoring historic
rugs and carpets. His move to the U.S. expanded his expertise to include the design and manufacturing of contemporary, traditional, and
transitional rugs. He personally oversees the manufacturing of his products in collaboration with craftsmen throughout the Far East, and
maintains long-standing relationships with mills and weavers throughout the world. Staron’s personal goal is to continuously move forward
and produce exceptional patterns, designs and methods, not seen before in the carpet making industry.
Jakub strives to be inventive, satisfy the fascination, and meet the demands for high end, individual products. While his work is rooted in
history, Jakub mixes traditional elements with the modern to produce unique textures, patterns and distinctive collections that are truly works
of art. Staron is the consummate purveyor of exquisite rugs, carpeting and broadloom, all designed with a craftsmen’s skill and a painter’s eye.

Hand weave
Done on a flat loom or a shuttle loom, this technique is
particularly suitable for simple or unified designs. The
boucle formed by the weaving is maintained by the
fabric and can remain boucle or be cut into velvet.
The weave may also be flat, in which case the coloured
weft will completely cover the warp, in the kilim or
dhurrie style.

Effects, sculpting
Different heights are possible for velvets, as they are for
boucle. Playing with these reliefs gives great creative
freedom. Sculpting may take place at the finishing
stage to accentuate a shape, sculpt the material or even
accentuate the separation of shades.
