Woven by village families for their personal use, this exceptionally long and narrow runner features a magnificent pastel palette and a bold length. This piece represents true village craftsmanship — hand-knotted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The low-profile, shaved pile reveals the intricate structural integrity of the weave while highlighting a sophisticated, sun-faded patina that softens the vibrant pinks into a lived-in aesthetic.

A curated selection for designers, this runner is ideally suited for grand hallways, expansive galleries, or modern galley kitchens. Its aesthetic bridges the gap between traditional folk craft and organic modernism, providing a textural foundation that complements Japandi, Transitional, and Mid-Century Modern interiors. Each knot reflects a legacy of artisanal skill, offering a timeless anchor for high-traffic transition spaces.

✔️ Color Palette & Design Insight:
The palette is romantic and grounded, characterized by soft, airy tones and a vintage matte finish. (Primary colors: Dusty Pink, Slate Grey, Sand, Charcoal, Cream).
Muted rose and dusty pink serve as the warm chromatic foundation.
Slate grey and charcoal provide architectural definition to the motifs.
Soft sand and cream accents highlight the geometric symmetry.
Naturally occurring abrash adds depth and tonal variation throughout the field.

✔️ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central field is defined by a series of diamond-shaped medallions, a motif traditionally associated with protection and the continuity of domestic life. Surrounding geometric tribal elements and a repeating border design emphasize the weaver's individual hand and the cultural iconography of Western Anatolia. The intentional lack of rigid symmetry showcases the authentic nature of the village loom, lending the piece a unique, one-of-a-kind character.
