Curator's Notes
- Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
- Lined with a repeating set of five medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- A hexagonal shape (also known as a “lozenge”) represents the female form and fertility
Malatya, found in central Anatolia, is known for its coarsely knotted rugs and geometric designs woven by Kurdish tribes.
Material DetailsWool is the most widely used fiber in Turkish rug design. Not only is it plentiful in supply, it’s durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. This wool pile is knotted onto a cotton foundation, another popular choice in rug design. The cotton used is rigid, strong, and provides a sturdy foundation that’s designed to last a lifetime—or ten.
