Design Philosophy:
Kilims date back thousands of years, originating from nomadic tribes in regions like Anatolia, Persia, and Central Asia. These rugs are flat-woven masterpieces known for their lightweight structure and bold, geometric patterns. Unlike high pile rugs, Kilims are created by tightly interweaving warp and weft threads, resulting in a flat, smooth surface. These rugs are as much a practical item as they are a canvas for artistic expression, often crafted by nomadic or tribal communities.
Kilim rugs emphasize simplicity and symbolism. Their geometric motifs often carry deep cultural and spiritual meanings, representing concepts like fertility, protection, and the natural elements. Their minimalist design makes them versatile for modern and traditional interiors alike.
Characteristics:
- Patterns: Bold, angular shapes like diamonds, stripes, or zigzags dominate, with a focus on symmetry and repetition.
- Colors: Vibrant hues like red, orange, blue, and green, often created using natural dyes, make these rugs visually striking.
- Materials: Typically woven from wool or a wool-cotton blend, Kilims are lightweight yet durable.
