Characteristics of the production area (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. The kilims woven in Sirjan are called "Suzani" or "Silky Pichi" and the production area of these kilims is registered with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely dense and sturdy weave. Woven by nomadic women based on their imagination without a pattern, their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with little fluff on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.

Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep color tones, with dyes extracted from cherries for red, eggplant skin for blue, saffron for yellow, walnut leaves for green, and walnut shells or tobacco for brown. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Natural dyes are also used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They are characterized by geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has its own unique design.

Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics vary by region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used as rugs or floor coverings but are also widely used as decorative items for walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interiors. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not just decorative items; they are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art and comfort, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

The use of kilims is highly flexible and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent to the area. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining a kilim with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance its warmth and natural atmosphere. They also go well with a bohemian vibe; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall room's atmosphere. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Arranging them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Afterward, wipe carefully with water to remove any detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
