A slim, hand-woven Kilim, Blend rug applies the basic rules of color theory, with three available models in which hue, luminosity, and saturation vary. Blend plays with the visual perception of colors. Solid surfaces interact with surfaces that are constructed from lines. These duo toned lines merge into the viewer's eye to create new colors. Due to this graphic system a multitude of subtle shades are rendered departing from 5 different yarns.

Originating from Afghanistan's native sheep, this wool's fiber, called Ghazni, is famous for reaching 30cm long. This exceptional length and its slightly undulating and thin structure provides a high resistance and special softness. Like the other wools, it is an elastic fibre that ages well, which combined with its beauty makes it ideal for weaving carpets.

Kilim is a technique which uses a manual loom to create fabrics which mix bright sections of color. Knotted by hand, this process produces flat rugs with irregularities caused by the manual twisting of the wool thread. It is characterized by geometric motifs.
