How would you paint clouds? Soft and airy or dark and thundery? Abstract, impressionistic or surreal? Blue, colourful or even colourless? With the Cloud carpet, Harald Geba from the carpet manufacturer of the same name in Graz brings his very own idea of the natural phenomenon to the floor. The 90 x 60 cm dream piece is hiding behind door number 2 today.

Count the sheep
Geba combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design and has its rugs made in Nepal according to Harald Geba’s designs. Inspired by art, architecture, nature and travelling, this results in unique carpet creations. The wool comes from sheep that live in the heights of Tibet at over 4,000 metres and develop particularly long, greasy fibres under extreme conditions – an ideal basis for durable, high-quality carpets.
Like on clouds
The wool is processed in a gentle and environmentally friendly way, without dry cleaning. It is washed in mountain streams and spun by hand, dyed with vegetable dyes and knotted in the traditional Tibetan loop knot. The natural colouring of the wool gives each rug an individual touch. However, thanks to an additional palette of 256 synthetic shades, precise colour requests can also be implemented.
