Mimea Carpet.

Design: Helmut Scheufele.

"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now" is the saying in Uganda, a country known for its rich flora and fauna. The design is named after the Swahili word for vegetation: mimea.

The low pile carpet is made from equal parts Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk and nettle fiber.
