Legends of Carpets: Archaic beauty of Africa!
Walter Knoll’s CEO Marcus Benz’ many trips to and obsession with Africa had him return with his friend, artist & textile designer Helmut Scheufele to fulfil his idea of turning the archaic beauty found in this multi-faceted continent into a collection of carpets.
Based on their travels, Helmut started work painting beautiful abstract impressions that were translated into the designs which now make up The Legends of Carpets collection. These are Patterned, Plain and Silks.
Every carpet is given a name in Swahili, a language that connects many countries in Africa.
Patterned
Fascinating landscape images translated into abstract painting. Each carpet encapsulates a proverb that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Plain
The Plain carpets each shine in an exquisite shade, inspired by a specific landscape and its special light mood – in a way you will only find in Africa.
Silk
Finest Chinese silk in brilliant colours ensures a special shimmer and charming light reflections – like the crystals, minerals and precious stones form the depths of the Earth.
