Inspiration

The stories behind the patterns - where they come from, who wove them, and what they mean.

Every rug in our collection carries a design tradition older than the loom it was woven on. Here, we go deeper than size and color - into the tribes, the regions, and the symbolism behind the patterns you see every day.

Bold, high-contrast, and unmistakably tribal - Kazak rugs come from the Caucasus weaving tradition, hand-spun on upright looms by weavers in northern Afghanistan. Few patterns read as confidently graphic on a floor.

Vegetable Kilim

Vegetable Kilim
