The swiss based karpet team is traveling all over Kirgistan to find these beautiful handmade felt carpets called Shyrdaks. After a thousand-year-old tradition they are created by nomadic women and fascinate with its unique beauty and tactile sense. The symbols and colors tell the story of the Origin of each Shyrdak and characterizes the personal style of the creator. A carpet is produced by the entire community during a whole year. From manufacturing the single thread through cutting the ornaments, every detail is handmade.
Karpet invites you to the finissage of their exhibition at Pfistergassoptik in Lucern. Thursday 17th march, Pfistergasse 29 from 18-22.
