Details

Butterfly Wool offers a more refined interpretation of the butterfly motif, where the form is clearly defined yet softly dissolves into the background, evoking the layered quality of paper in Lucia Eames work. 

The combination of hand-knotted Afghan wool and kilim weaving allows for variations in height and density, creating a subtle interplay between definition and diffusion. This contrast adds visual depth while highlighting the craftsmanship behind each piece. 

Its material richness and density make it particularly suited for spaces where a more sophisticated and expressive presence is desired.

Fibers

100% Afghan wool

Afghan wool comes from sheep grazing high in the mountains of Afghanistan. Naturally wavy, it is a very resistant material with a rough touch. Due to the curl of the wool and the irregularity in the yarn, when weaving it, it achieves an aged and unique appearance.

Technique

Hand loomed Kilim

Manual weaving on a vertical or horizontal loom that plays with the intersection between weft and warp. Thin and light rugs that usually feature geometric patterns, as well as firm, resistant and without knots, which makes dhurries clean and easy to maintain rugs.

Cleaning and care

Tips

  • Vacuum frequently.
  • Clean stains with the appropriate solution before they dry.
  • Take the rug to specialized dry cleaners, if necessary.
