Kilim

Heritage and Design Philosophy

Persian Kilims are woven across different regions of Iran, each with its own distinctive style and identity:

• Qashqai Kilim (Fars Province): Characterized by bold geometric motifs and vivid, warm colors.
• Shahsavan Kilim (Azerbaijan): Featuring abstract tribal patterns rich in symbolism.
• Seneh or Kurdish Kilim: Fine, detailed weaving often resembling carpet knots in precision.
• Baluch and Turkmen Kilims: Deep earthy tones and strong traditional motifs reflecting local heritage.

Each Kilim is an artistic expression woven from the weaver’s memory and imagination — created without a pre-drawn design. Every piece is unique, carrying within it the story, culture, and emotion of its maker.

Materials and Natural Colors

Kilim weaving uses natural materials such as wool, cotton, goat hair, or a combination of these fibers. For dyeing, artisans employ traditional plant-based colors — including madder root, weld, indigo, walnut husk, and pomegranate rind. These organic dyes bring warmth, serenity, and harmony with nature to every thread of the Kilim.

Modern Presence

Today, Kilims are admired not only in traditional homes but also in modern and minimalist interior designs. Their simple patterns and natural tones harmonize beautifully with Japanese, Scandinavian, and contemporary spaces. As a result, Persian Kilims are highly sought after in international markets, particularly in Japan, Europe, and the United States.

Kilim in the Iran Kazemi Collection

At Iran Kazemi Carpet, Kilims are created with inspiration drawn from the art of nomadic weaving while preserving their traditional essence. We use natural wool and vegetable dyes to ensure that the authentic Persian spirit remains alive in every fiber. Each Kilim is a reflection of Iranian soul, nature, and simplicity — a timeless art form that continues to live and breathe from past to present.
