kilim

A kilim is a type of flat-woven carpet or textile, traditionally made in regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Unlike pile rugs, kilims are created using interwoven threads that lie flat, resulting in distinctive patterns and vibrant colors. They serve both functional and decorative purposes, used as floor coverings, wall hangings, or for furniture. Kilims often feature geometric designs and are notable for their craftsmanship, reflecting the culture and heritage of the weavers. They are appreciated for their beauty, durability, and the artistic expression they embody.
