Kilims are traditional handwoven flatweave rugs known for their lightweight structure, bold patterns, and cultural symbolism. Unlike pile rugs, kilims are woven without knots, creating a flat surface that is both durable and reversible. These versatile textiles have been used for centuries as floor coverings, wall decorations, and functional pieces in everyday life.
Our kilim collection features authentic handwoven pieces created using traditional techniques and natural materials. Woven primarily from wool and dyed with natural pigments, each kilim carries its own character, reflecting the artistic expression of the weaver and the regional traditions it comes from. Due to their handcrafted nature, no two kilims are exactly alike.
Kilims are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their practicality. Their strong flatweave structure makes them suitable for high-traffic areas, layering with other rugs, or decorative use in both modern and classic interiors.
