Alp Carpets

In 1918, Granadian painter José Pérez Ortiz brought together various workshops dedicated to the handmade production of carpets in Granada’s most emblematic neighbourhood, Albaicín, and founded Alpujarreña, the origin of Alp. This initiative was born as a synthesis between the quality of manual work, endorsed by a long tradition, and a focus on design and creativity. Since then our carpets have incorporated designs by Eileen Gray, Juan Gris, Álvaro Siza, Óscar Tusquets, Javier Mariscal, Federico García Lorca, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Gordillo, Alcaín, José Guerrero, Alessandro Mendini, Frank Lloyd Wright, Piet Mondrian, Kandinsky, and a long etcetera. These creations are present in prestigious public spaces, in the corporate buildings of companies and organizations, and in private residences.

Alp, a project developed in collaboration with Liévore Altherr Molina, conserves the essence of Alpujarreña, its commitment to quality, service, versatility and great design. We evolve to align our work with a more modern language but we never renounce the hallmarks that have defined us throughout the years.

We only manufacture in our textile mills in La Zubia (Granada, Spain), following a strictly handmade process and we are dedicated to conserving the environment at every phase of production. We use environmentally friendly materials to such an extent that over 95% of the products we manufacture are biodegradable or recyclable.

Our environmental responsibility is also reflected in the materials we use, 100% natural, with traceability and certified origin, and in the application of the dyes that we use, controlled at every stage to prevent any negative impact on the environment.

Carpets have accompanied people since time immemorial. They have helped us to define our social space, to improve acoustics, to raise our quality of living, or to simply embellish our surroundings. Alp makes its carpets and rugs from this entirely human and essential perspective, in search of maximum versatility.

Alp produces unique pieces, which are handmade to fit any space and come in a wide range of colours, finishes and textures; aligning them to the personality, needs and decisions of each client. We perceive our work as a complete process and a far cry from mass production, because we believe that objects should maintain their value and transcendence, their usefulness, and above all their beauty.
