LIGHT IS COMPRISED OF MANY COLORS. IT SHOWS THIS OFF IN A PARTICULARLY SPECTACU-LAR FASHION IN THE NORTHERN LIGHTS, VISIBLE IN WINTER MONTHS IN THE FAR NORTH. THIS SPECTACLE OF NATURE WAS AN INSPIRATION FOR THE JAN KATH COLLECTION SPEC-TRUM BASICS. KNOT FOR KNOT, THE SPECTRUM OF LIGHT IS TRANSLATED INTO WOOL AND NETTLE, AND THAT FLEETING MOMENT IS CAPTURED IN THE CARPET SO THAT THE BEHOLDER CAN LET THEMSELVES BE CAUGHT UP IN IT. THE REALIZATION OF THIS DESIGN, WHICH IS HAND KNOTTED AT THE MANUFACTURER IN NEPAL, IS INTRICATELY COMPLICATED AND ENT-AILS UP TO 40 DIFFERENT COLORS THAT BLEED INTO EACH OTHER IN A SOFT GRADIENT.
