On the Design:

This piece draws on principles of “Kohistani” design—a Persian term meaning “from the mountainous land” per its nomadic origins. The sharp diamond patterns enjoy a stunning sense of movement in varied colors, with teal, rust, and navy blue especially present atop its rich burgundy red field. It’s a collectible primitivist work of folk art—dramatic and playful with vast design applications today. See less
