On the Design:

This classic Zanjan masterwork presents a sophisticated interpretation of the classic Kurdish khorjin format, reimagined as architectural textile through extraordinary geometric precision and symbolic complexity. The design employs vertical compartmentalization where individual panels function as independent geometric studies while contributing to unified visual narrative. Each compartment reveals microscopic attention to symbolic detail—central octagonal medallions demonstrate stepped perimeter construction with internal cruciform elements that create radial symmetry within angular frameworks. The alternating zoomorphic motifs between medallions display exceptional calligraphic precision, stylized bird forms rendered through minimal linear elements that achieve maximum symbolic impact through reductive means.
This Zanjan kilim functions as sculptural wall art, its vertical compartmentalization creating dramatic focal points that enhance spatial hierarchy in contemporary interiors while maintaining the sophisticated restraint essential to luxury design sensibilities. The piece excels in gallery-style environments where its geometric precision complements minimalist architectural elements and museum-quality furnishings.
