Hand-knotted in natural silk, this 3x8 runner is a new addition to Rug & Kilim's Block Print collection—an innovative line celebrating the artisanal beauty of block printing through contemporary hand-knotted craftsmanship. Its elegant geometric field and carved texture create a refined, modern statement.
On the Design:
Admirers of understated contemporary design will appreciate the quiet sophistication of this Block Print runner. The design is defined by a rhythmic allover field of stylized geometric boteh motifs, framed by complementary botanical-inspired borders that lend the design both structure and visual balance. Rendered in soothing shades of sage green, ice blue, ivory, and charcoal, the tonal variations subtly evoke the organic irregularities associated with traditional hand block printing while maintaining a distinctly modern aesthetic. The result is a design that feels calm, layered, and remarkably versatile.
The true distinction of this piece lies in its luxurious construction. Hand-knotted in premium natural silk, the artisans have expertly carved the pile to create a sophisticated high-low texture that enhances every motif with remarkable dimensionality. The raised silk elements capture light with a luminous sheen against the softly recessed ground, creating an elegant interplay of texture and shadow. This tactile quality lends the runner exceptional visual depth and an irresistibly soft hand, making it an ideal choice for hallways, dressing areas, or transitional spaces seeking a refined contemporary presence.
The accompanying book, Jacques Majorelle by Félix Marcilhac and Amélie Marcilhac, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B056) can be acquired independently through our bookstore, here.
