Ndebele by GAN Rugs
Designed by Sandra Figuerola
The Ndebele rug is a tribute to female African art!
The Ndebele rugs are inspired by the culture of the African Ndebele people, known for their colourful facades. These are traditionally painted by women, who decorate their houses with murals of geometric motifs and bright colours.
The Ndebele kilims of ethnic style and contemporary language playfully combine intense tones and rotund designs with the geometry of their strokes. A graphic reading of ethnic roots reinterpreted through a modern lens.
