Chokaa Carpet.
Design: Helmut Scheufele.
The Ewe people say, "He who looks to heaven will never discover anything on earth.” The sedimentary limestone, called Chokaa in the Suahili language, found in the deep layers of the African continent inspired the colors of the carpet, which is made of Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk and nettle fibers.
Chokaa, Swahili for Limestone.
"He who looks to heaven will never discover anything on earth.”
