A living composition in wool — 3 × 2 m

Handwoven · Natural wool · Flat-weave kilim · Naturally dyed

Dense geometric ornament. A warm, light-responsive palette. Built to last and made to be looked at.

The piece

At three metres by two, this kilim commands a room without demanding it. The geometric ornament is dense and layered — motifs building on one another across the field, bordered by frames that reward close attention and read clearly from across the room. This is pattern as structure: a considered way of organizing space and meaning on a flat textile surface, not decoration applied after the fact.

The palette is warm and complex. Tones shift depending on the hour and the angle of the light — clear and distinct in the morning, deeper and more unified by evening. This responsiveness is a defining quality of naturally dyed wool, and one of the things that makes living with a piece like this genuinely pleasurable over time. It does not look the same twice.

Construction

Woven entirely by hand from natural wool using the kilim flat-weave technique. The flat surface is easy to clean and maintain. The wool is naturally resilient. The construction is tight enough to hold well in rooms with regular foot traffic — this is a piece built for use, not just display.

Dimensions & specifications

Placement

Works particularly well in living rooms and dining areas, where the scale and layered detail can be fully appreciated. At this size, it anchors a seating arrangement or defines a dining space with quiet authority. Mounted horizontally as a wall hanging, the composition reads almost like a textile painting — the central field framed by its borders, the whole surface telling a coherent visual story.

Care

• Vacuum gently in the direction of the weave — no beater bar.
• Rotate periodically to ensure even wear and light exposure.
• Spot clean with cold water and mild soap. Do not saturate.
• Air occasionally in indirect sunlight to freshen fibres and maintain colour.
