Texturized Minimalist Rugs

Escape Kelim Rug Boasts Puts a Contemporary Spin on the Kelim Design

— September 23, 2021 — Art & Design
The Escape Kelim rug is a texturized and modernized version of the traditional kelim rug. Designed for Massimo Copenhagen by Space Copenhagen, the rug boasts a minimalist aesthetic, ideal for the modern home.

The Escape Kelim is handmade in India. It is made using the ancient flat0weaving technique that originated in the Turkish region. The weft and warp threads are interwoven to create a flat finish, which gives the rug its elegant smoothness. The rug includes subtle details to create contrast, such as its distinct edges. The design team harnesses the carpet's organic style by using subdued color tones and undyed wool, creating a natural feel. The minimal yet tactile piece enhances the warmth and softness in a modern space.
