Nested chevrons in cream and sky blue frame a cluster of tiny gray diamonds on a warm red ground. The centered motif makes it a natural focal point on a sofa or bed. At 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm), this one-of-a-kind boho kilim throw pillow in rust, blue and gray is an easy way to refresh a room.
Kilims have been woven by hand in Anatolia for centuries, and their bold geometric motifs are some of the most recognized designs in textile art. The front is a hand woven wool kilim. A kilim is a flat weave, so the wool threads are woven tightly in and out by hand instead of being knotted, which gives the pattern its crisp, stepped edges. The hand-spun wool shows soft, natural shifts in color, called abrash, and with no pile to crush or shed it stays smooth and durable. It has a cotton back and a soft, hypoallergenic polyfill insert.
Add it to a guest bed, a leather sofa or a porch swing. Designer tip: pair it with a solid linen pillow in one of its colors and a simple stripe, so the kilim pattern stays the star.
