Woolable by Lorena Canals Catalogue - English 2022

The word Enkang means “fences”
in Swahili, and in the context of
the Maasai tribe it represents
the wisdom of simplicity – how
something as simple as a fence
may save your life when sharing
your territory with wild animals. The
Maasai’s fences are usually built
using thorny acacia branches to
protect villages and cattle from
wild animals.

A simple way of life, in harmony
with the surrounding wildlife is the
philosophy that our Enkang rug
intends to convey.
Its design creates a subtle pattern
that mimics the acacia wood
fencing. The rug has a slightly
irregular contour, and each
of its four corners displays a
handcrafted braid. Three of these
symbolize the roots of a tree.

Cowrie Bracelet
WO-BRACELET · 90 x 240 cm · 2’ 11” x 7’ 10”

Considered spiritual blessings
from the ocean, Cowrie shells
are highly appreciated and
have a long history of different
uses throughout the centuries.
In Africa today they are still used
in weddings and traditional
ceremonies, as jewelry or in
crafts, symbolizing wealth and
fertility.

The inspiration of the Cowrie
Bracelet rug comes from the
East African craft cuff bracelets
and necklaces worn by tribal
women. Made with seeds and
decorated with the precious
Cowrie shells, these simple
yet beautiful jewelry pieces
have been turned into a rug to
embellish our homes.

Bahari means “Sea” in Swahili. Bahari
Admiring the presence of the vast WO-BAHARI-XL · 200 x 300 cm · 6’ 7” x 9’ 10”
Indian Ocean at the shores of the
East African coast, inspires a sense
of freedom, spiritual peace and
a reminder of gratitude towards
Mother Nature’s treasures.

Legend has it that cowrie shells
are a gift from the water deity
Mami Wata (Mommy Water),
and symbolize the spiritual powers
of the ocean. The Bahari rug
brings a part of this sacred ocean
spirit into our homes.

Karibu is “welcome” in Swahili,
and hospitality is an essential
quality of the Maasai people.

Our rug was inspired by the
typical entrance doors of Maasai
village clay huts, made by hard-
working Maasai women, and
decorated with tribal motifs
that are painted with natural
pigments. Like the doors, our
rug comes in a practical oval
shape that makes it adaptable
to many different spaces.

Our Naranguru rug –”evening”
in Swahili– was inspired by the
amazing reddish sunset views
over the endless Serengeti plains
with scattered Acacia trees,
and the shifting color nuances at
different times of day.

The rug features subtle Acacia
tree silhouettes, and one of the
borders is finished with a strip of
exposed canvas featuring hand-
embroidered lettering that reads
“The Place Where the Land Runs
Forever”, a phrase that perfectly
describes the Serengeti park,
which in Maasai language means
exactly that: “Endless plains”.

Kinga means “protection” or
“shield” in Swahili. A typical object
found in African tribal culture
is their beautiful handcrafted
shields. They are used for
protection when hunting or,
simply, as ornamental gear in
dancing ceremonies. Whatever
the case, every shield is the result
of tremendous handcrafting
skills and a reflection of hidden
meanings.
