The Ninevites is a design studio and cooperative that creates gorgeous, handmade rugs and textiles for the considered home. Founded by Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg, each modern design pays homage to the craftsmen—the unsung artists—who paved the way for generations. Using meticulously-sourced materials such as 100% South African-grown mohair and Peruvian sheep’s wool, each piece is hand-spun, -woven, and -dyed to create a unique heritage-quality piece that showcases the artistry, excellence and creativity rooted in black culture.
