On the Design:

This beautiful Zanjan kilim runner is a celebration of both artisanal craftsmanship and the bold artistic vision of weavers of the Shahsavan tribe. Characterized by its dynamic vertical stripes and chevrons, the piece pulses with energy through a palette of saturated tones—pink, brown, gray, blue, black and ivory tones. The color arrangement alternates between thick, eye-catching chevrons, bands and thinner, sharply contrasting lines, creating a sense of rhythm and movement that enlivens the entire design enclosed within a bold border. A tactile relic of nomadic life, it is durable, beautiful, and steeped in tradition.
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.
