Ajabu Carpet.

Design: Helmut Scheufele.

An African proverb states: “No witness is better than your own eyes.” The low-pile carpet Ajabu - Swahili for wonder - shines in pink like the magical Retba salt lake in Senegal, and is made from Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk and nettle fibers in equal proportions. 

Low-pile carpet made from 33% wool, 34% silk and 33% nettle.
