Maman Berthe - Abstract Raffia Kuba Rug
Maman Berthe - Abstract Raffia Kuba Rug
Kilubukila's textured raffia rug is handwoven by female artisans from the Kuba tribe in DR Congo. Made from 100% locally sourced raffia, this monochrome abstract rug is inspired by modern paintings experienced growing up in Kinshasa, where the designer's founder, Jess, grew up. Use your Kuba rug to add texture and define a space, or hang from the wall as unique textile wall art.
