About Casalis

Purely traditional and disarmingly honest. Everything up to the final knotting of the carpet is done by hand.

The natural wealth of the wool from Tibetan sheep in the Himalayan mountains is carefully spun into knottable carpet yarn while respecting and maintaining the character according to an ancient tradition.

These carpets combine the centuries-old art of handknotting from the Beiras region of Portugal with modern materials, colours and patterns.

Manual single needle tufting forms an efficient alternative to manual knotting.

Weaving a carpet entails interlacing warp and weft yarns on a loom to create volume and textures.

Years of experience and know-how of woven textiles have allowed us to develop top quality 3D fabrics using state of the art warping and weaving machines.

These products are manufactured with a knit and wear machine : different manufacturing procedures are combined into one process.

For plain colour carpets or easy designs, a robot can replace the manual work of the hand tufters.

The wool from Peruvian alpacas resembles ultimate comfort coupled with authentic colours and incredible softness.

'Vlas' or Flax is the plant from which linen is obtained. It's part of our Belgian culture as it grows and is harvested for centuries in our Flemish countryside. The material is sustainable and shines.

Tibetan wool is produced by local sheep from the Himalayan mountains. The wool stands out through its strength, purity, and irregularity.

The strong, elegant glossy mohair yarn is acquired from the coat of angora goats that are raised in an ecologically responsible manner in the wonderful South African nature area "Karoo".

Polypropylene fabric is one of the lightest synthetic fibers in existence. It's soft, lightfast, easy to clean, and ideally suited for cold weather and outdoor use. Furthermore, the fabrics made of this are highly resistant to abrasion, and it also resists insects. The material is recyclable.

Tencel is extracted from the raw material wood. Tencel production itself is extremely ecofriendly, due to the closed loop system.

Super soft and very shiny. Viscose is the man-made version of silk.

Compared with ordinary wool, merino wool is softer on the skin because the fibres are much finer and don't cause any itchy reactions on contact with the skin. This makes merino wool ideal for producing soft-touch plaids, cushions, footstools and carpets.

The special softness together with the unmistakable gloss is also for Casalis a major asset in a few collections, whether as an accent, as a full carpet, or as a complement to another material.

Bamboo is a raw material that quickly renews itself. The fibre that is extracted from the material contains a lively gloss and can be dyed in the most vibrant colours.

New Zealand wool is praised to be the whitest, allowing for a broader range of colour after dyeing.

In some collections, wool from several sources is used to obtain a stronger yarn.

Textiles made from these fibers and yarns carry the trademark Trevira CS and are permanently flame retardant thanks to a polymer modification. The fire retardancy remains unaffected from external influences and no additional, environmentally damaging fire protection treatment is necessary.

Anita Kars has a strong sense for color and texture. She has been working in textiles for a long time.

Aleksandra Gaca designs innovative woven textiles. Her work unites strong aesthetic qualities with high functional performance in acoustics. Her fabrics combine experimental weaving techniques with her own sensuous approach to materials, colour and pattern.

Liset is always looking to push back the boundaries of what's possible. Looking at colour has become second nature to her, and when she creates patterns, whether for textiles or carpets, her starting point is always the expression of thread.

As a trendsetter, Marie Mees designs interior textiles that are carefully designed to complement contemporary architecture and interior design.

Producing designs is the Dutchman's talent and passion. This is obvious from the highly graphic nature of his designs that combine a penchant for light Scandinavian design with a fascination for traditional shapes and the use of hand-drawn and floral motifs.

Designer of our 'Rani Rock' design. Stefania Ruggiero lives and works in Milan. She acts between art and design, bringing poetry and experimentation within her projects.
