The invention relates to a flat woven carpet tile (1) with a warp direction and a weft direction. The carpet tile (1) has three or more edges extending along a circumference of the carpet tile. The carpet tile comprises a plurality of indentations (12) and protrusions (13) along all edges. The indentations (12) and protrusions (13) are shaped, dimensioned and located so that the carpet tile (1) is adapted to be joined with abutting identically shaped carpet tiles by mutual interlocking of pairs of mating indentations and protrusions along all the edges in order to form a seamless and coherent carpet. At least some of the protrusions (13) comprise transversely extending gripping elements (14) and the mating indentations (12) comprise corresponding transversely extending notches (15). The gripping elements (14) and notches (15) are dimensioned so that a good interlocking is ensured even if a pulling force is applied in a plane of the carpet tiles in a direction in which the pulling force would otherwise pull the carpet tiles apart. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a carpet tile, and in particular a method comprising use of laser cutting.
