For several decades Markus Lippert played a formative role in the carpet industry, most recently as general sales manager for the Austrian supplier Tisca Textil. Now he is taking his well-deserved retirement. "However, you never quite retire from this profession," says Lippert.
The Indian carpet manufacturer The Rug Republic has joined forces with the NGO Child Rights and You (CRY) to ensure the safety of children during the pandemic and help them continue their education: Every time someone donates IRS 4000 or more to CRY, The Rug Republic will send them the coffee table book "7 Lessons from Everest – Expedition Learnings from Life and Business" as a gesture of their appreciation.
Until 6 June, the exhibition "Raster 2" is still on at the Gebhart Blazek Gallery (Graz). Its focus is on the chessboard motif in Moroccan carpets of the 20th and 21st centuries.
