{"product_id":"modern-design-pastel-kilim","title":"Modern Design Pastel Kilim","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handmade modern design pastel toned kilim has an alluring geometric design but with the gentleness of a soft versatile tonality with an intriging interplay of combinations of warm and cool hues. Flatwoven kilims, because of the nature of their plainwave, can be used either way up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is a Kilim? \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kilim is a type of artistic handmade floor covering that has a specific type of weave called 'flatweave'. Every weaving culture has their variants of flatweave techniques which, on some occasions, can be quite complex. Kilims are essentially woven pieces that do not contain knots, and therefore no pile. This kilim is woven with wool weft threads and cotton warps; so essentially the colour and pattern are the wefts that are woven back and forth across the piece over and under the warps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Stylistic Features of this Kilim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contemporary piece has some wonderful geometric compartmentalized patterning with subtle vertical stripes. This is owing to the nature of the construction as there are limitations owing to weaving technicalities with all flatweaves compared to rugs with pile. However, there are no limitations on uniqueness of design, geometric inventiveness or colouring. Kilims can be impactful in their design bringing modern vibes to a scheme. This piece also has the benefit of an array of soft, pastel-like tones which will blend into interiors with hints of colour and a measured design. Interior stylists and designers are devotees of using stripes and geometrics to offset and balance schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Restful Colours are to be discovered in this Kilim? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kilim is deceptively simple, yet on closer inspection the clever composition has a restful balance of interlinking variations of striped motifs with whispers of coral pinks, light terracottas, light blues, stone greys, mauve greys and light apricots. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Take Care of this Modern Pastel Kilim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause traditional handmade flatweave kilims lack pile they tend not to trap dirt easily and only require a weekly vacuum. The wefts are pure wool so naturally dirt resistant. With any spillages simply blot with a light detergent. Don't forget to consider using a recommended underlay for kilims on hard floors or fitted carpets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 180 x 120cm \/ 5'11'' x 3'11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeft: Wool, Handwoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081600930123,"sku":"TORM-1317-MODERN DESIGN PASTEL KILIM-1.80X1.20CM","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Pastel-Abrash-1.80x1.20m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786283449","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/modern-design-pastel-kilim","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
