Old
fabrics made of hand stitched-together vintage kilim, jijim and cicim
remnants have been collected and re-defined into a contemporary and new
work called "kirkyama" or patchwork. These rugs are beautifully designed
and finished with very heavy cotton backing so they lie flat.
There is
an undeniable beauty behind a vintage find that cannot be replicated. It was so exciting to finally see the finished patchwork kilim rugs I had been designing for The Loaded Trunk with my long time friend and rug dealer Murat from Turkey. It can be easy to overlook what a huge impact a rug can have on a room.
