Behanzin is an Axminster interpretation of a Kuba velvet pattern sourced from Congo, distinguished by its use of looped raffia threads that echo the textural vocabulary of Italian velvets. The design captures the tactile quality of its historic textile inspiration, translating traditional weaving techniques into a contemporary floor covering. Looped details create subtle dimensionality across the surface, referencing both African craft heritage and European velvet traditions in a single, considered composition.
