WELL-GROUNDED DESIGNER. Jan Kath wasn’t really interested in taking over his parents’ carpet business in Bochum. Eventually, however, he did end up in the same industry, though not quite as people had imagined. He came to value the traditional art of rug making in Nepal as a young globe trotter. He consciously breaks with conventional concepts to create fusions of classical and minimalist design. The carpets he markets under the Jan Kath Design label are in great demand: his customers now include celebrities throughout the world.
