The design process began with an inspirational journey. CEO and lead designer of Walter Knoll, Markus Benz, travelled together with Helmut Scheufele to Africa. The people of Marrakesh, Namibia, and Botswana, along with the landscapes and light of these destinations, made a clear and powerful impression on both designers. This crystallized the idea behind the new carpet collection…
Helmut Scheufele is an artist and internationally renowned expert in fabrics, colours and design. His creative work focuses on the human being: his inspirations, his perception, his sensual experiences. Over 40 design awards prove the quality of his many years of work and achievements.
Helmut Scheufele shares his passion for colours, materials and outstanding craftsmanship with Walter Knoll. They are tangible in the “Legends of Carpets” collection – hand-knotted carpets, inspired by the landscapes and colours of Africa.
