A sculptural textile rooted in heritage yet boldly contemporary, this handwoven Turkish rug hails from the storied weaving town of Usak. Though deeply rooted in traditional Anatolian and Yoruk tribal motifs, the rug's bold composition evokes a modernist sensibility—blending abstract tribal character with a mid-century modern design ethos. Characterized by its strong, reductive form, the piece reinterprets cultural symbolism through a lens of modernist restraint, creating a dialogue between past and present that feels both grounded and sculptural.

The figure resembles a bird or anthropomorphic form, rendered in a highly simplified, almost Bauhaus-like geometric language. Its color palette evokes the Anatolian landscape: desert taupe and ecru form the soft, earthen base, while onyx black defines the central figure with graphic clarity. A framing in saffron gold adds warmth and a hint of the unexpected, like sun-baked stone glinting under late afternoon light.

Woven by skilled artisans using time-honored flat-weave techniques, the rug carries the quiet authority of something entirely handcrafted. Exclusive to Kilim Couture New York, each piece in our collection is handpicked for its artistry, soul, and singularity.

Measuring 4x5, this size is ideal for layering in living rooms, reading corners, offices, or at the foot of a bed. Its sculptural presence pairs beautifully with minimalist, Japandi, or mid-century modern interiors, while also adding bold counterpoint to bohemian or eclectic spaces. Place it over wide-plank wood flooring or polished concrete for a high-contrast, gallery-like effect.

Each rug in our collection carries not only visual distinction but also cultural depth—perfect for designers and collectors seeking pieces that spark dialogue and evoke emotion.
