Camera, lights, action!
Watch SABC2′s premier arts and culture program ARTCHA on Wednesdays at 22:00 and you might soon spot a very familiar face.
The ARTCHA team headed up by presenter Eloise Cupido, also known for her roles in Jozi-H and Kompleks, recently visited Fibre Designs to shoot an insert on rugs as functional art pieces. And what better person to interview than Pierre. Anyone will have to search hard and far to get a person more passionate about rugs than him.
Be sure to diarise this one. We will keep you in the loop on when this specific insert will be aired. Not only will you learn more about the wonderful tradition of hand-woven rugs but you will also get to learn more about Pierre.
Artcha is an arts and culture magazine show. The name of the show is inspired by the spicy South African condiment Atchar and refers to the idea that whatever meal life serves up, art is the Artcha that adds a full bodied, sizzling flavour to our South African identity.

WOW – It’s So Big!
Size does matters – especially when it comes to rugs. Correctly proportioned rugs pull together furniture in a room creating warmth and intimacy or it elongates the dimensions of a room to create breathing space.
We just have to share this interesting bit of information published on a rug related blog a time ago:
The world’s biggest hand-made carpet is the size of a football field (60 546 square feet). Weavers in Iran used 38 tons of wool and cotton to create the carpet for the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan mosque in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, named so after the founder of the country.
The carpet is called the Qasr al-Alam (The Palace of the World) and took Ali Khaliqi, an Iranian artist, eight months to design. It was woven by 1,200 women, aged between 15 and 60, over 16 months. They were supervised by 50 men acting as technical experts.
