Under her leadership, the Bauhaus weaving workshop was transformed from a neglected area to one of its most successful institutions. During her tenure, she shifted the focus from pictorial work to industrially oriented designs. In the process, she brought radical ideas from the modern art world to the weaving workshop and initiated experiments with materials and methods that propelled weaving into the modern age.
This exclusive rug was made true to the original design by Gunta Stölzl from 1923. In close collaboration with the estate of Gunta Stölzl, this artistic rug was woven by hand in Turkey. A true masterpiece that embodies Gunta Stölzl's historic craftsmanship and visionary design, it is available in a strictly limited edition of just 10 pieces.
Care instructions for hand woven sheep wool kilim
Hand-woven kilims are not only a work of art, but also a long-lasting piece of furniture when properly cared for. The natural sheep's wool they are made of gives them a unique texture and feel. With the following care tips, your kilim will stay beautiful for many years:
-
Regular suction: Use a vacuum cleaner without a brush attachment to gently vacuum your kilim once a week. This will remove dust and small particles and freshen up the wool.
-
Turn over: Turn your kilim over every few months so that both sides wear evenly and the colors fade evenly.
-
Stain removal: For small stains, you should act quickly. Dab the stain with a clean, damp cloth without rubbing. If necessary, use a mild soap solution and rinse the area with clean water. Blot with a dry cloth and allow the area to dry completely.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Excessive exposure to sunlight may cause the colors of your kilim to fade. Place it in a place where it is not constantly exposed to direct sunlight.
-
Annual professional cleaning: Depending on usage and location, it may be advisable to have your kilim professionally cleaned once a year to maintain its beauty and longevity.
-
Store: If you want to store your kilim for a longer period of time, roll it (instead of folding it) and store it in a cool, dry place. Use moth repellent to repel pests.
With these care tips, your hand-woven sheep wool kilim will remain an eye-catcher for a long time and enrich your home with its natural beauty and craftsmanship.
