Walter Knoll Legends of Carpets Patterned • Chimbuka rug
Walter Knoll Chimbuka rug • Legends of Carpets
Chimbuka, Swahili for sunrise
In Swahili there is a saying: „A good beginning promises a good end.“ Chimbuka means sunrise – and the design takes up exactly this mood. Intense reds and blues recall the glowing colours of the sky as the light creates them in the morning or evening. The short-pile rug consists of 58 % wool, 37 % silk and 5 % nettle.
Inspired by the landscapes and colours of Africa, Walter Knoll's rugs were created in collaboration with the textile designer Helmut Scheufele. Their expressiveness draws on the creative diversity of the African continent – translated into timeless, knotted works of art.
The rug is woven by hand and can be adapted individually to your wishes. You can determine the length and width entirely according to your personal ideas. So as not to restrict your choice with fixed dimensions, we ask you to contact our customer service for your order.
