The Merge Kelim Rug features hand-dyed wool yarn woven using the traditional Punja loom technique, one of the oldest manual weaving methods. Its geometric colour-blocking pattern is rendered in burnt hues, with slight shade variations occurring naturally from the wool and dye process. The kelim weave produces a characteristically coarse texture, and minor differences in weaving pattern from rug to rug are inherent to the handmade construction.
A rug is a great way to define a space and through colour and form create a sense of coherence between the furniture and accessories in a room. In beautiful burnt hues, the Merge Kelim Rug redefines traditional kelim craftsmanship and combines with our design DNA with a strong sense for geometric shapes and extraordinary colour blocking.
Our Kelim Rugs are hand-made why the weaving from rug to rug may differ slightly. The weaving technique is 'Punja' loom – a traditional and manual loom and one of the oldest weaving techniques. Also, the wool yarn is hand-dyed, and some shade variation may occur due to the nature of wool and dye. The Kelim weave and the wool yarns have a unique, coarse feel. This is part of the characteristic of the traditional kelim rugs.
