Why Van Besouw is different
Not a catalogue of carpet. A house of textiles.
Van Besouw began in 1839 as a weaver of jute. Today the same company knits, tufts and weaves carpet in Genemuiden, the carpet capital of the Netherlands — in small series, on its own looms, with yarns chosen for how they feel underfoot.
Every quality carries a number, not a marketing name. 3801, the knitted cotton classic. 2605, the deep tufted Soft. 4403, wool and goat hair. The number is the design.

Six collections
Choose a feeling, then a number.
Each quality is one construction and one material; its colours are three-digit codes. Say “2605-540” and the atelier knows exactly what you mean.

The rug atelier
Any quality. Any size. Finished by hand.
Every quality can leave the atelier as a rug: rectangular, round or a runner, to the centimetre, with a blind or volume overlock edge, or a stitched border in leather, cotton, suede or Project loop pile. Build yours below — the summary is what we send to Genemuiden.
Colour library
Numbers, not names.
Each colour has a three-digit reference within its quality; the code on the sample is the code on the roll. Swatches are available at the Tbilisi showroom.
Craft and certainty
Specified like a contract floor. Felt like a bedroom.
