Kilim: Everything You Need to Know

Kilim: Everything You Need to Know

Moroccan rugs are still widely used in home design all over the world. Thick stacks, fluffy rugs with thick knots composed of natural yarn, and especially the popular minimalist Beni Ourain rugs, have taken center stage. Moroccan Berber peoples, produced an incredible range of rugs using 'flat weave' techniques known as Kilim. They produce blankets and woven floor coverings with a low-knotted pile, including these Moroccan Kilim rugs, which are one of the most exquisite on the market. Unique designs that derive from the way these Kilim rugs were woven and are often based on ordered geometric shapes or simple harmonious bands of color may bring an intrinsic sense of modernity and sophistication to space.

Moroccan nomads and peasant farmers valued sheep farming, and these magnificent textiles, spun by local women on upright looms, symbolized the role of wool in all facets of life. Wedding capes, thick bushy shawls (known as handiras), flatweave rugs for houses or tents, warm blankets, and large grain bags carried by a mule. Due to the weaving methods used, solid color designs and dramatic geometric forms are common, often combined with creamy white or ivory cotton to highlight the symbols. These vivid shapes and colors appear amazing with a muted interior palette.
