Details
Like the paintings on the facades of Ndebele villages, which are traditionally made by women, this kilim combines several geometric patterns, diverse in terms of style. It is available in two sizes and features green, blue, gray and black tones. The series also includes a Red version, in garnet, orange, purple, green and ecru tones.
Ndebele, a rug from our kilim collection
The kilim is an artisan method of rug making in which the weft is tightly woven on a manual loom, using only threads and no knotting. The result is a light fabric with no pile, similar to that of upholstery. It is a technique that offers great flexibility, a feature that GAN explores thoroughly to create high-impact details.
