HearDis! Headquarters, Stuttgart, Studio Seebald © Studio SeebaldWe are known for precise customised designs: we create the rug you want, to perfectly fit the look of your design. Of course, we can also create variations on standard designs to meet your requirements. The Christian Fischbacher team supports you with inspirational examples, colour samples and drafts of your designs. The carpets are tufted by hand on a woven backing material and made to any size required.
Material: The lines Silk Secrets, Merino Treasures, Linen Dreams and Benu Sea offer a rich range of materials to choose from.
Colours: The materials are available in a full range of colours. If your chosen colour is not part of our standard range, we can dye the product especially for you.
Carving: You can choose different heights of the pile and any combination of loop and cut pile. Depending on the
material, it is also possible to carve out three-dimensional reliefs ranging from 7mm to 14 mm in height.
Finishing: The colour of the backing felt, which is also available as a flame-retardant fabric, can also be chosen freely.
Artwork: When placing an order, the customer receives a technical representation of their rug in the chosen colours alongside the order confirmation in order to approve production.
Trial design: Upon request, Christian Fischbacher can produce trial samples of the custom rug design. The samples are available within two to four weeks.
Production: The delivery time for your rug will be around six to ten weeks. Depending on the size and complexity of the product, this may vary slightly.

Depending on the quality, it is possible to carve three-dimensional reliefs between 7 and 14 mm high. This technique suits wool carpets best. With linen carpets, carving is only possible to a limited extent. Silk carpets cannot be carved.
Carved recessed line - fine line possible, e.g. Folklore
Motif carved in 2 heights. For a twodimensional effect e.g. Rendezvous
Raised line carved
Minimum width 1 cm e.g. Meta
Motif carved with bevelled surfaces. Prismatic, graphic, raised e.g. Mono
Surface and line recessed carved Minimum width 2 cm for surface e.g. Caleido
Height difference emphasised by carving. Surfaces are clearly defined e.g. Teamwork
Motif carved. Raised round shapes, e.g. Stucco
Carving with linen is only possible to a limited extent. No fine lines and no fine, small patterns are possible here, as linen as a material is less stable than wool. e.g. Halem
As a standard, the carpets come with our textile label.
Almost all carpets can be backed with a felt backing. You can choose between dark grey and beige. The Christian Fischbacher logo is printed onto the felt backing with an anti-slip finish.
The finished product is rolled up and packed. Each carpet is shipped with its own custommade protective cover
The production of hand-tufted rugs is fundamentally different from all other methods of carpet manufacture. The rug is neither woven nor knotted. Tufting works rather like a sewing machine: the needle goes through the fabric from the back of the rug. The gripper holds the yarn tightly from the front. This results in loops on the woven backing that create a bouclé texture. If the loops are cut, the result is a velour finish. The cutter is usually attached to the gripper so that holding and cutting the yarn, known as the pile, can be done in one step. The length of the pile or loops determines the pile height which, together with the pile density, results in the material weight. In the next step, the pile threads are fixed: the back of the rug is coated with latex and then clad with felt. Without this, the threads could be pulled out easily. A common design technique for tufted rugs is shearing. To do this, the pile is cut to different heights using a cutter or knife. Patterns also result from the contrast between loops and clipped pile.
Our carpets are distinguished by the following labels:
This certificate guarantees that no child labour was involved in the creation of our carpets. The production facilities are monitored by unannounced inspections.
All our carpets are tested by the internationally accredited Carpet and Rug Institute CRI, and are certified with the Green Label Plus, meaning our carpets belong to those with the lowest VOC emissions on the market today.
This symbol confirms that our carpets are made with 100 % Merino wool from New Zealand. The fine, soft, and elastic fibres of the Merino sheep are a guarantee of the finest quality.
MONSILK is a premium brand of recycled yarn which is produced from waste plastic bottles collected from the oceans around Thailand.
The rugs in the Merino Treasures range are hand-tufted from premium New Zealand merino wool. Merino wool is a very high-quality type of wool that is characterised by its exceptional fineness, softness and elasticity. The natural protective layer of the merino wool provides heat insulation and absorbs noise. Thanks to the elasticity of merino wool, rugs made from this material are extremely hard-wearing and durable. Merino Treasures rugs are ideal for use in the home because the natural properties of the merino wool make them flame-retardant.

The rugs in the Linen Dreams range are hand-tufted from premium linen. Linen is a stable natural fibre that is made from flax and is both hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating. The yarn has a natural shimmer that changes in different light, resulting in rugs with vibrant surfaces and a patina that becomes more intense with age and underlines the unique character of the rug.

The silk rugs in the Silk Secrets range live up to the highest expectations. With its incomparable sheen, smoothness and exceptional colour brilliance, silk represents the height of luxury like almost no other material. Silk is an exceptionally fine, but also very elastic fibre that is made from the cocoons of the silkworm, the larva of the silk moth. The rugs in the Silk Secrets collection are hand-tufted from twisted silk using the finest craftsmanship.

The successful Mix rug range was born from our passion for innovative techniques and materials. The combination of exclusive materials such as merino wool, silk or linen with beautiful designs creates exciting visual and textural contrasts. For example, velvety merino wool is combined with dry linen, or clipped shimmering silk with matt wool. Techniques such as carving, bouclé and clipped pile are just a few of the countless possibilities that can be used to create Mix designs.

For public areas, e.g. hotel lobbies, entrance areas or other high-traffic areas, we recommend Contract Wool 1-ply.
Compared to the Merino Treasures quality, this wool has a coarser yarn structure and therefore meets higher demands on wear and tear.
The carpets can be produced in any design, shape and size, including Christian Fischbacher’s standard designs. The carpets are available with or without our logo felt backing. All 128 colours of the Merino Treasures collection as well as customer’s own colour requests can be realised. Price on request.
