Silk Soumaks are refined handwoven flatweave rugs distinguished by their intricate wrapping technique and elegant silk texture. Crafted using natural silk, these textiles are known for their softness, subtle sheen, and highly detailed patterns, making them true statement pieces in interior design.
Unlike traditional kilims, silk soumaks are created by wrapping supplementary weft threads around the warp threads, resulting in raised motifs and a richly textured surface. The use of silk enhances the clarity of patterns and gives the rug a luminous, luxurious appearance while remaining lightweight and flexible.
Silk soumak rugs often feature geometric, tribal, and symbolic designs, reflecting centuries-old weaving knowledge adapted into fine decorative textiles. Due to their delicate silk structure, these rugs are ideal for low-traffic areas, wall displays, layered styling, or refined living spaces where craftsmanship is meant to be appreciated.
