Characteristics of the Origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are known as "Suzani" or "Silky Pichi," 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 extremely fine and firm weave. Nomadic women weave them based on their imagination without a pattern, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with little fluff on the surface, and animal and geometric patterns are often seen.
Sirjan kilims also feature many deep colors, with red dyes extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skins, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut husks and tobacco. These characteristics have earned Sirjan kilims high acclaim worldwide and made them cherished as beautiful crafts.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character with use. They are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims depending on when they were woven, and are loved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some are produced using cotton or silk. They are made from natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are robustly woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups inhabit the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics vary by region, offering a diverse range of patterns to enjoy.

Kilims and Interiors

Kilims are extremely versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, the unique patterns and colors of kilims can add an accent to a simple space. For natural and Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance.
