Rug & Relic is proud to offer the Ati Kilim Collection to our
clients. Each piece is designed by our friend Attila, and is woven by
one of the 17 women who bring his designs to life on their looms. They
work in a tiny village of some 60 homes, high atop a mountain in the
Turkish countryside. We know - sounds too good to be true, right?
That's how we felt when we discovered him! Ati designs with deference
towards traditional motifs, but with a flair for the modern. His rugs
represent the best of both: modern interpretations of ancient designs,
rendered by expert hands in the finest hand-spun and vegetal-dyed
wools. Love an Ati piece, but wish it came in a different size or
color? We are happy to have Ati and his weavers custom-design a rug to
meet your needs. For more information, please visit the Custom Rugs
section of the website.
Rug Design: The motif of this piece is the "honeycomb," a symbol of good harvest, the earth's bounty, and a contented life.
