Made with hand-knotted natural silk, this 2x8 runner rug is a sophisticated addition to Rug & Kilim’s Block Print collection—an innovative line celebrating the artisanal charm of block printing reimagined in contemporary hand-knotted form. This piece functions as a lush, textural landscape that honors classical textile motifs through a bold, contemporary lens. On the Design: Admirers of transitional textile arts will immediately appreciate this runner's soothing minimalism and inviting tactile personality. The design features a wonderfully muted, earthy sage and mint green field brilliantly segmented by rhythmic horizontal bands of delicate, stylized geometric crests in luminous cream hues. Between these glowing motifs, a smart play of tone-on-tone striae creates a subtle, organic texture that perfectly mimics the artisanal charm of hand-stamped fabrics. Hand-knotted entirely in premium natural silk, the pile is crafted with a textural high-low tactile quality that enhances the visual depth of the soothing green backdrop and allows the raised silk to catch ambient light with a pearlescent shimmer. Principal Josh Nazmiyal believes this collection represents a new frontier in bespoke weaving—seamlessly marrying the soulful, rustic charm of historic block prints with the unmatched luxury of carved silk. It is a highly versatile and elegant anchor, tailored to bring warmth, quiet luxury, and a refined contemporary presence to serene corridors and bright entryways alike. The accompanying book, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction by Laura Braverman, Leah Dickerman and Briony Fer, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim.
