The piece features a meticulously shaved low pile that accentuates its intricate geometric architecture, revealing a sophisticated sun-faded patina that only decades of natural aging can produce. Its elongated proportions and weathered aesthetic make it an ideal anchor for high-traffic corridors or alongside a contemporary kitchen island.

This runner’s subdued palette and organic materiality align seamlessly with refined interior movements, including Organic Modern, Japandi, and elevated Bohemian-Chic styles. The combination of hand-spun organic wool and traditional vegetable dyes ensures a textural depth that grounds a space in history while maintaining a clean, architectural presence.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A masterfully weathered composition of sun-drenched neutrals and aged berry tones.
(Primary colors: Faded Beige, Muted Pink, Ochre)
• Faded Beige: The dominant sand-toned field provides a neutral, earthy foundation.
• Muted Pink: Vibrant magenta accents have mellowed into a sophisticated, dusty rose.
• Soft Ochre: Muted yellow-gold highlights provide warmth to the geometric borders.
• Dusty Grey: Subtle charcoal outlines define the tribal diamonds with soft contrast.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central field is defined by a series of repeating diamond lozenges, a quintessential Kurdish motif often interpreted as the "Göz" or protective eye. These symbols are woven into the fabric to safeguard the household and bring prosperity to the inhabitants. The intentional "abrash," or natural variation in color depth, reflects the weaver's use of different dye lots, signifying the authentic, non-industrial nature of the piece. Every geometric irregularity speaks to the individual hand of the weaver, ensuring that no two segments are perfectly identical.
