Contemporary Polish Kilim TWILIGHT Designed by Piotr Niklas / Hand-woven
Located in WARSZAWA, 14
Welcome the TWILIGHT and its myriad of colors in your home. Picture the evening sky getting darker by the second, as the Sun slowly descends towards the horizon. It first shows its white and blue tones followed by the apricton-pinks, ultimately torching the sky red and slowly descending into darkness. This is the story told by our kilim TWILIGHT, exclusively on 1stDibs.
The TWILIGHT kilim is 100 x 200 cm (40 x 80 inches), which makes it great for hanging it both vertically and horizontally. It works well as a decorative piece in the living room above the sofa, bed’s headboard, a background for a console or as a dominant decoration at the head of the table. Saturated hues of cobalt and navy blue make it a strong accent in any interior, and natural materials give it durability for generations to come. A square meter of this fabric is a week’s worth of work of a professional weaver. The kilim was made in accordance with Bobowas traditions of weaving on a flax warp, while the weft is natural wool.
Kilim designed by Piotr Niklas - Graduate of the European Academy of Arts in Warsaw, he has been designing for over a decade. He specializes in visual identity, poster design, user interface and webpage design especially for cultural institutions, video game developers and tech companies. For his Kilim DAWN he received the MUST HAVE at the Lódz Design Festival.
Splot blends the finest tradition of Polish handcraft with modern and bold design.
The kilim has a long and fascinating tradition in Poland. They were initially brought from the East to the nobles’ manors, with time becoming more domestic and produced locally. They captivated Modernist artists, such as Stanislaw Wyspianski or Zofia Stryjenska, who often worked in this medium. In the 1920s and ’30s, kilims decorated grand public buildings as well as private Modernist villas. After the war, they were made in many of Cepelia's (Central Folk Art and Crafts Union) workshops, both for the Polish market as well as for export, unfortunately, with time this noble craft was nearly forgotten.
Kilims - stashed away in houses, stored in museums and attics, kindled my imagination.
In times of rapid mass production, time in itself has become a great luxury. It takes around a week to hand weave a square meter of a kilim. In this laborious process, we acquire a product that is unique in every respect - no two tapestries are alike, just as no two loaves of bread are the same. A kilim integrates art with nature. They are not only decorative but also practical, improving acoustics and warming the interior. Kilims are Polish, although they arrived here from far away. Traditional craftsmanship for the modern home.
Our dream of making modern Polish kilims...

Shop Vintage Tapestries on 1stDibs
Whether you hang them behind your bed as a dazzling alternative to a headboard or over the sofa as a large-scale focal point in the living room, vintage tapestries can introduce an array of textures and colors to any space in your home.
Woven wall hangings haven’t consistently enjoyed the popularity or earned the highbrow status that other types of wall decorations have over the years, at least not since the 1970s, which was somewhat of a heyday for tapestries. Today, however, these tactile works of art are seeing a renaissance, as modern weavers are forging new paths in the medium while the demand for antique and vintage tapestries continues to grow.
“We are drawn to texture in environments, and we see tapestries as a subtle layer of soft ornament,” says Lauren Larson of the New York design duo Material Lust. Indeed, and a lot of opportunity comes along when decorating with this distinctive brand of soft ornament.
Think of wall hangings as paintings created by hand with fabric instead of oil or watercolors. If you’re not simply securing your treasure to a wall with nails, pushpins or Velcro, tapestries can be stretched over a frame, used to create a canopy in a cozy living-room corner, hung from a rod or placed inside a shadowbox. And because this kind of textile art is hundreds of years old, options abound with respect to subjects and designs.
For richly detailed depictions of landscapes and garden scenes, look to antique Chinese tapestries and Japanese tapestries. Aubusson tapestries are ornate wall hangings manufactured in central France that are also characterized by romantic portrayals of nature. For weavers of mid-century modern tapestries, as well as those working in textile arts today, the styles and subject matter are too numerous to mention, with artists exploring experimental shapes, bold colors and provocative abstract designs.
Antique, new and vintage tapestries can make a room feel warm and welcoming — find yours on 1stDibs now.
