SWEET HOME CHICAGO
Welcome, everyone, to the fourth issue of RUG STAR Magazine featuring our latest adventure in the USA, the strikingly beautiful Intimacy Chicago project.
Our Chicago adventure took place in early summer 2019. We shot at Lake Michigan in properties such as the old KRAFT manor in Wilmette, old Victorian town houses in South Loop Chicago or in the skyscrapers in downtown Chicago with a stunning view from the 36th floor over Millennium Park. Home owners welcomed me into their private interiors and designers gave me access to their latest projects. I am very grateful and every single time astonished how welcoming and warm hearted these moments are…

PORTLAND POETRY
Welcome, everyone, to the third issue of RUG STAR Magazine featuring INTIMACY PORTLAND.
For our new issue we traveled overseas to Portland, Oregon, one of my favorite cities in the US and home of my soulful trader and dear friend Christiane Millinger. Our target was more than ambitious. All the interior shoots for the new magazine had to be shot within a period of 8 days. We organized 6 beautiful Portland homes where we placed the rugs and shot them in interior with the incredibly talented local photographer Laurie Black… Michael Christie, The Ruggist and Editor of Rug Insider flew in from the East Coast and we had a night to celebrate…

SEE ME, HUG ME, LOVE ME
Welcome everyone to the revised second issue of RUG STAR Magazine featuring INTIMACY BERLIN Volume 02.2 and the 120 PILLOWS project.
I felt blessed, with INTIMACY BERLIN. I have finally created the perfect communication tool to show how my rug designs blossom in real living situations and the magazine is the right frame to show these pictures.
We find all of the homes by requesting assistance from friends, so the home owners are not paid for letting us photograph our rugs in their living space. Instead, we cook for them and teach them about the joy and love we have for this craftsmanship. So far all interiors have been exclusively shot by the Berlin-based photographer Michael Tewes…

INTIMACY BERLIN
Welcome everyone to the revised version of our RUG STAR Magazine No. 01.2 featuring even more stunning pictures of INTIMACY BERLIN.
In the summer of 2015 we started asking friends and friends of friends if they would allow us to photograph our designs in their homes. We set up a clear and easy structure. Each month we are invited into 1-3 homes and shoot our rugs in real-life living situations. We find all of the homes by requesting assistance from friends, so the home owners are not paid for letting us photograph our rugs in their living space. Instead, we cook for them and teach them about the joy and love we have for this craftsmanship. Within three years we will have created an archive of 36 homes, or to put it in terms of interior pictures, around 300 beautiful photographs of our RUG STAR rugs in real-life…
