iSHONi Rug Collections
"Her dedication to the Rug Design industry is bar none. Her design work is known worldwide, and she holds the highest respect among her peers. Her designs are repeatedly published in major, international trade publications like "Interior Design Magazine" and "Modern Carpets & Textiles"
Paul Chapman, Vice Chairman & President ABC Carpet & Home, New York
From 2002, Manuela licensed rug designs to mtm Munich under the direction of Claus Dürrschmidt and Klaus Schunko (Münchner Teppichmanufaktur). iSHONi rug collections for mtm were presented from 2002 to 2012 at Domotex Fair in Hanover and sold worldwide in more than 20 countries.
Manuela announced the end of her collaboration with MTM in November 2012, when Claus Dürrschmidt and Klaus Schunko stepped down and MTM was sold to a German company.
From 2008 New York home goods and rug department store ABC Carpet & Home collaborated with her alongside senior executives like Paul Chapman (President) and Alex Kimia (Senior Executive VP) to showcase her collections commercially. ABC Carpet&Home ran full-page advertisements for "iSHONi by Manuela Federica Krebser" rugs in Interior Design Magazine ( Nov. 2008 / April 2009 / May 2009 ) and COVER / Modern Carpets and Textiles for Interiors - a sister brand to HALI Magazine - (Spring 2009 / Summer 2009) to launch the hand-knotted silk and wool iSHONi designs within the competitive luxury U.S. textile landscape.
In recognition of her artistic and commercial achievements in the global luxury textile market and her international reputation in carpet design, Manuela Federica was granted U.S. permanent residency under the E16 extraordinary ability category. Designs such as VERDANA, Ornamental, AURA, Panja, and Alma are among her signature works.
