African House

Page 1

La alfombra African House nace de los fascinantes murales que realiza la tribu surafricana Besotho en el exterior de sus casas. Las mujeres de dicha etnia decoran las paredes adobadas de sus hogares con ornamentos vegetales y florales, inventando maravillosas alegorías decorativas. Son la expresión artística de las plegarias a sus antepasados, a quienes imploran lluvias, sol y paz. Esta colección acerca la simbología cultural de dichos indígenas, trasladando sus exóticos motivos exteriores al interior de nuestras casas, aportando cierto aire étnico. El relieve sobre la alfombra de lana reproduce el tratamiento del barro de sus murales, en tonos ocres, tierra y arena. The African House rug has its origins in the fascinating murals made by members of the South African Besotho tribe on the outside of their houses. Besotho women decorate the adobe walls of their homes with plant and flower ornaments, inventing stunning decorative allegories. They are artistic expressions of prayers to their ancestors, to whom they pray for rain, sun and peace. This collection brings us the cultural symbology of this tribe, bringing their exotic exterior motifs to the interior of our homes, giving a certain ethnic touch. The relief on the wool rug reproduces the mud treatment in their murals, in ochre, earth and sand tones.
