Soumaks are handwoven textiles known for their intricate wrapping technique that creates a richly textured and slightly raised surface. Unlike traditional flatweave kilims, soumaks are woven by wrapping supplementary weft threads around the warp, resulting in detailed patterns and a more dimensional appearance.
This collection features authentic handwoven soumaks crafted using traditional techniques and natural materials such as wool. The designs often include geometric, tribal, and symbolic motifs, offering visual depth and decorative richness. The slightly thicker structure of soumaks makes them ideal as statement pieces in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Historically, soumaks were used as floor coverings, storage textiles, and decorative pieces. Today, they are valued for their artistic quality and unique texture, making them suitable for wall decor, layering, runners, and light floor use.
