Ocean Kelim

"The Ocean Kelim is a refreshing and modern kilim that has its origins in Afghanistan. Like all our kilims, the Ocean Kelim is woven by hand in a 100% natural and traditional way. When sourcing the raw material, we attach great importance to environmental friendliness and maintain this focus throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The Ocean Kelim presents a successful interplay of different shades of blue and turquoise on a light beige background. The symmetrical and flowing color combination creates a harmonious overall impression.

One special feature of the kilim is its double face (double weave). When weaving a kilim, we speak of the so-called warp and weft threads, whereby the weft thread ensures that the design of the carpet is visible on both sides. The history of the kilim can be traced back many centuries and makes antique finds in particular attractive collector's items. The weaving tradition of the kilim can be traced back to old nomadic tribes who used the woven fabric as a blanket, wall hanging or even as a floor covering. In the past, the motifs usually came from the immediate surroundings of the tribes and so animals, plants or images inspired by nature were often depicted. In addition, emotions were also often communicated via the kilim motifs.

In most cases, the origin of a kilim can be clearly determined based on the weave and the motifs. The designs and motifs passed down through generations are the decisive factor in the provenance of a piece.

For kilims, an anti-slip mat is an indispensable and urgently needed addition. In particular, to avoid the risk of slipping and to guarantee unrestricted suitability for everyday use."
