Originating from Central Asia, the Middle East and the Caucasus, kilims were born as functional rugs for nomadic peoples. Today they are appreciated for their essential aesthetic and ability to bring authenticity to contemporary interiors.
Kilim vs knotted rugs: the difference?
Kilims have no pile and are flat on both sides, while knotted rugs have a more or less high pile. This makes kilims lighter and more versatile.
What materials are used in Kilim rugs?
Predominantly natural wool, sometimes combined with cotton. Colours often come from traditional dyes, giving natural chromatic variations that make each kilim unique.
Where to use Kilim rugs?
Extremely versatile: living room, bedroom, entrance, corridor and study. Perfect also under tables or desks thanks to their low profile.
