I have one of these Märta mås carpets at home that my grandma bought like 50 years ago looks the same as it did 50 years ago. Its art that lasts through generations and outlives its owners over and over again.
I think you stated it perfectly. Most people don't appreciate how long one of these will last. Literally for generations.
> implying that you don't have cats. 😂
As craftsman ship of this nature should.
Of course there are carpets that are literal museum pieces because of their artistry and age. But unlike hers, where if you work hard enough and could invest in one, those are irreplaceable and priceless.
@@PierceyeG true works of art and history
@@adamm.6386 craftmanship is like annything i have ever seen. Got an offer from a friends dad in newyork for 12.000$ . Wouldnt sell it for the world.
As a handmade rugs manufacturer based in India. I salute your efforts and work. Amazing work.
Hello bhai. I am african and i need you to come here for make rugs business, thank you for answer me
@@papaboma8026 , i can help you.
@@asmaraimpex7119 we can do this business in Congo? Together?
@@asmaraimpex7119 I am at Ottawa Canada now
Thank you mass production for allowing me to have a carpet in my room
the final product is amazing
the yarn closets are the most satisfying thing ive ever seen
Crazy. Beautiful carpets, but I’ll stick with IKEA 😂
Beautiful cinematography, editing and sound. And carpets :) Congratulations
The carpets are beautiful. Would buy if I had the money.
I really want one of those now. No idea why but I really want it
Hey, let's just embrace the variety.
I think these are amazingly beautiful. I also think carpets from other countries are beautiful.
They might be but 40k??
That's a lot of money
They see divorces in the carpet,
If my lover bought this carpet I would see divorce too
Yhozi haha 😂
lol
I'd see a cast iron skillet
Too true
Different strokes for different folks!
Beautiful. LOVED seeing the variety at the end.
I’ve never been a carpet person but I loveeeee them. They’re so bright and the perfect sizes
It is Genial! Not only beautiful pieces but everything involved in production, hand made, the machinery, so organic and her final words "made to last". Amazing!
Truly the pinnacle of IKEA
I would rather lay the cash cash side by side with a protective shield mostly epoxy on top of it and walk on it everyday of my life 😌
this guy gets it
You'd still save 20k.
great IDEA!!!!
It would be pretty worthless. These carpets are only going to go up in price. Same as old ass Egyptian rugs go for 100k+
Traceur Snow well I'd rather walk on my money than spend it on something that no one will notice automatically, for they are just looking same as other carpets. My money will be an eye catcher. I might even get fame 😂😂 . But that carpet, is a big NO.
Wow... what a beautiful Carpet
Yaumil Taufik cj
if it flies , i'll buy one .
The red carpet (the one in the thumbnail) is absolutely gorgeous! I would invest in one in a heartbeat if I had that kinda money.
What a beautiful video! Thank you.
V gud work.awesum job Bloomberg..keep it up.i really like ur new MADE series👍👌
It is always a real pleasure to see another of these "MADE" videos.
those carpets at the end looked nice
OMG....This is a work of art!!
But can it Fly....
LMAO😂
Why do they call it a carpet when its really a rug?
Same thing, especially considering it's swedish
As a Dutch person I also dont see the difference. Can you explain it for me?
@@AnaisAzuli there's only one word for a carpet/rug : matta, so since there is no difference in the Swedish language between a carpet and a rug it doesn't really matter (I'm also partly dutch!)
This was pretty interesting my ma always called a rug a carpet but in her native tongue there is only one word for carpet/rug
Isabeau in America carpets are rugs that are the entire floor (you can’t pick them up as it is the actual floor) and Rugs are what was in the video, something that you would put on top of the floor.
Herregud, vilket drömjobb!
THIS CARPET IS A YEAR OF MY TUITION
Now that's art
Now I can't afford those carpets but in the future who knows, they are really beautiful
Thanks for a n awesome video! Would love to get one
They should do a documentary on Irani and Turkish carpets.
What a great video :)
This reminds me of when I was 7 and told my 4 year old sister at 2 am to pour ink in the fan.
Full story:
It was 2am and my sister had migrated into my room and did not want to go to sleep. I don't know why I didn't get my grandparents but they locked their door at night cause they were trying to get my sister to sleep in her own bed. She had gotten bored and kept waking me up so at some point I gave her a clipboard a pen and a paper. She let me lie down for 20 seconds before I remember hearing her open drawers looking for I guess more paper. While she was in the drawers she found a bottle of ink you are supposed to use to wet a realtors stamp pad. She started finger painting on the paper and clipboard. I tried to take away the ink but she climbed up to the shelves I could put it on. She even started smearing ink on me. I saw that I had lost all control of the situation. I guess I surrendered to the whole ordeal though because I remember wanting to see what the ink would look like if you put blank ink on the center of a spinning fan. So I suggested to my sister that she pour a little on the fan. She loved that idea and poured almost half the little container in the first go. I got to see the reverse of what I wanted, kinda. Not fully satisfied I took a turn and tilted the fan over first and aimed for the center. We took turns for a couple more minutes before my grandma came out to check on us, probably not at all due to bad luck but more the copious amounts of laughter coming from my sister. As it turns out we ruined a $2000 Persian rug and stained every thing not covered in the entire room with tiny little black dots. It was pretty dense too.
I had to do several chores including spend 2 years selling fruit from the trees in our backyard. We had a little stand on the side of the road every once in a while and sold a couple boxes of mandarin oranges, Fuji apples, persimmons, and other homegrown items from the garden. I got off easy though. Some of those speckles were still there 8 years after we moved.
The carpets are so beautiful
It's 40K because it's made by Swedes. Go look for Persian or Turkish or Armenian's.
Or Chinese or Indians if you want a copy of this textile. Personally, I'll stick with the Iranian product.
Yeah. Absolutely, the product cost must be higher in Sweden due to the manufacturing overheads. At the same time this does not define the product quality. So Vanno is quite right. The buyers may look for the quality products with lesser price.
buying this carpet is kinda like buying jeans (levi's) in europe than in US jaja.
The buyers *may* look, but they'll know it's never the same product. Just like I can go buy posters to put on my wall instead of art and pay $20 instead of $500. What you're missing is that this is a hand-crafted product by skilled artisans, and the patterns are unique. You can find similar elsewhere... but you'll never find the same pattern and quality and story. That's what the buyer gets.
vanno It takes one year of work to finish one, how much should they cost according to you, a clear expert?
Very impressive handcraft
erm I stil don't se the justification for the price. I get the craft but you could go any other parts of the world and see the same
@@falloutboy1234512345 my thoughts exactly! Some of the most talented and humble people in the world have been doing it for generations. They just add a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Also, they're European which raises the demand.
Not oriental, the weave is too broad to be anything oriental. Most the oriental ones are actually not woven even, and made using millions of tiny knots, where every strand on the thick carpet is tied to a base by hand.
? It's a full woven carpet that takes hundreds if not thousands of skilled man hours.... I doubt there's many parts of the world where you could get a bespoke piece of art like that....
Varuna Singh but it’s not the same?
The Chinese could weave a virtually identical carpet that would cost 5% of the original. Only a rug expert would know the difference.
they look like they really tie the room together
Those rugs, they really tie the room together
very nice design and craftmanship but those price are just crazy
Nothing beats handmade
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
You missed the chance to use “knot”. Smh
Hand made, natural products used to make the rug, a year time frame from start to finish, the price is high but fair
Fascinating 🤔
As a child I made my own little weaving painting. It is very relaxing work. 🏡
100$ at ikea
Carpets are beautiful and underrated
$40,000 lol.
I wonder if the white wine trick works 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
beautifil crapets
These old ladies are hustlers 😎
Last year on our trip to Mexico. We found this indigenous people Mayan descendent. They make some beautifu pieces %100 hand made. For $300 to $500 dollars.
the best and most beautiful and famous carpet in the world persian carpet
How much delay is there on the CZcams Bloomberg news livestream?
6 days from filming to post for this video, that’s amazing
This makes me want to buy one and I’m homeless
Hermoso!
What's the song playing in the very beginning of the video?
Will get at least one. My Style!
Such a heavy task.
Please people I might be late to the comments any recommendations for buying carpet from carpet vista or Nian Tradings that’s sells carpets on line ,Thanks people.
My type of carpet. Light with beautiful patterns
Thats crazy i have that type of rug and i didnt know
Hand work in a rich country with a crazy tax sistem, no wonder it's so expensive.
No, it's expensive because it takes two people almost a year to build. The cost is largely the cost of the labour, but also the quality and craftsmanship.
@@gfair2 I'll just take one from Ikea ;-; and with those $40k buy myself a new F250
HERPY DERPEDY Does Ikea make decent-quality carpets? I'm looking for one.
@@gfair2 not sure we have only bought a desk since the nearest Ikea is 200 miles from us
@@johanwallberg6646 No, the crazy tax system can only exist because Sweden is a rich country.
I just ordered 2. One for my downstairs WC and the other for my Shed
The best thing was to see all that yarn organised colour wise..16k colours they have she says.. if only they could show the whole stock.. it would hv been magical.
Now make it with Indian wage slavery = max profits!!
Hey! Thats what ikea does!
I COULD buy this Swedish made carpet for $40,000...but then again, I could just fly to Persia on Emirates first class, stay at a luxurious 5 star hotel in the center of Tehran for 14 nights, have a personal chauffeur drive me around the whole 2 weeks, AND buy a similar carpet, all for less than half the price.
do some news on sofa please.. i do love to learn about sofa furniture
@Bloomberg What is the Company called?
Hey, liked the 'MADE' font. Which font is it ?
I need that carpet .. put price labels in it, so my guest knows the exaxt price and I feel proud. Yeph, that's it
And hopefully it has built in WiFi
Have the Price woven into the carpet..Even better lol.
Wow
0:57 I hope no one tries to get to know me through my (failed) DIY projects.
4:47 I hate those string ends always getting stuck on my vacuum
you buy this 40k rug and then accidentally spill a drink on it the next day
I need buy my dream coffee maker
Come to Bukhara You will feel what is silk carpet is
Scandinavian design😍
Come to Bhadohi ( carpet city), India. It is the world's largest producer of carpets and rugs. Variety of carpets manufacturers here.
I got scammed there
I want to work there
You could remodel and furnish an entire house for $40k.
Just beautiful, I wish more people sought after things such as this. Let’s get away from the throwaway economy! As one-man stated, “I don’t have enough money to buy cheap stuff, so only the best will do.“
Oops, there goes my red wine
What is the name of the company ?
Of course 40k is a lot of money. But considering the time it takes to make one and the materials used it’s not overpriced at all. This is Sweden we’re talking about, it’s an expensive country to live in and people earn high wages.
Rather have a couple of room size Persian carpets. Much finer workmanship and just as durable.
I want to roll on those carpets like a cat
Never knew IKEA was so expensive
assuming two people working day in day out, 5 days a week for a year to complete a carpet/rug, 40k is rather cheap so something is wrong somewhere. How much are the workers paid? 18k yearly each? So out of 40k there's 4k left which is the gross profit?
Imagine casually stepping on $40k
It is far easier to weave and far more expensive than a Persian carpet. In Iranian culture this Swedish carpet would be similar to 'kilim' which is an easier to make rug.
Crazy to think in Sweden these sell for $40,000 and in Indonesia kids made similar ones that probably sell for 20$
Synthetic colors? In India, they have natural derived colored carpets.
I saw one of her rugs on Craiglist for $50
I'm from sweden 😃
Beautiful work, and designs, but I wont pay more than $500 for a rug. I could not afford it.
Whats the big deal. Go to India and see how many artisans work for meager wages/rewards. That is the work that needs to be reported on and given credit for.
The big deal is the dedication to an idea and an artist who's no longer alive, but elicited so much loyalty that people carry on her work. There's been tons of reporting on poor labour conditions and textile workers in recent years, far more than there has been on European carpet manufacturers.
the big dea lis that this is white people making carpets, not brown people, so they're automatically "more valuable".
We have more than almost 1000 different designs.
you can build home or buy carpet.
