Hand-knotted in natural silk, this contemporary 3x10 runner joins Rug & Kilim’s Block Print collection, reinterpreting traditional floral textiles through an elegant lattice of scrolling vines, botanical medallions, and luminous high-low texture.
On the Design:
This all-over design reimagines the enduring appeal of botanical lattice patterns through a restrained, contemporary lens. Graceful scrolling vines interlace across the field to form a rhythmic trellis, enclosing stylized floral medallions rendered with remarkable subtlety. Rather than relying on bold ornament, the framework achieves its sophistication through repetition and balance, allowing the pattern to unfold seamlessly across the entire surface with a quiet sense of continuity well suited to a runner format.
The interplay of sculpted high-low texture further elevates the design, introducing dimension that shifts beautifully with changing light. Soft sage green and ivory create a nuanced tonal palette, while the delicately carved floral motifs lend movement without overwhelming the layout. The result is a study in understated elegance—one that bridges classical decorative influences with a clean, refined aesthetic, making it equally compelling in transitional spaces and thoughtfully curated contemporary interiors.
The accompanying book, Atelier Zanolli, edited by Sabine Flaschberger and Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B244) can be acquired independently through our bookstore, here.
