Characteristics of the Region (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are also known as "Suzani" or "Silky Piti" and the region is registered as a kilim producing area by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their very dense and sturdy weave. Because nomadic women weave them from imagination without a pattern, their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are sumak woven, with a surface that doesn't fray much, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep color tones; red uses cherry, blue uses eggplant skin, yellow uses saffron, green uses walnut leaves, and brown uses dyes extracted from walnut shells or tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and are cherished as beautiful crafts.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims are produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They are characterized by geometric patterns featuring motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy diverse design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not simply used as rugs or floor coverings; they are also widely used as decorative items for walls, or as part of other interior elements such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are a hallmark, and they are often used as an accent in a room. Kilims are more than just decorative items; they enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and are considered an important element that highlights individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can enjoy a life surrounded by art and comfort, and a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are very flexible in their use and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the overall mood of a room. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal atmosphere, making them compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Placing them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If stains are a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool and silk) with water, wring out a towel firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any detergent residue, and let it dry in a well-ventilated shade.
