USAK Vintage Kilim 316x165cm
A rug like a woven memory
This hand-woven vintage kilim in blue and green comes from the Usak region in Western Anatolia – an area where women wove their stories into wool through colors and symbols. Created in the 1960s and made from 100% hand-spun sheep's wool, this large-format piece is a grounded expression of protection, love, and freedom.

- Göz: Evil Eye – clear vision, perception, warding off evil

Color World
A silent spectacle of colors with desert sand, moss green, graphite grey, and cinnamon brown. The geometric patterns are traversed by delicate abrash transitions, giving the kilim movement and depth. Plant-dyed wool provides a matte, natural radiance – soft and expressive at the same time.
