The RAPALLO kilim opens a series inspired by the Memphis Milano aesthetic, which defined the colorful design style of the 1980s and 90s. The designer. Piotr Niklas, in his own unique way, transformed the realizations of such designers as Ettore Sottsass and Nathalie du Pasquier into his individual language of forms. Piotr used a refreshed, pastel color palette. The RAPALLO kilim is 100 x 190 cm, 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. 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...
