Within our Kilim collection, The Captain is an earthy terracotta playmat with an aged rug-like design that adds texture to the space is it unrolled in. 

The Colour Palette 

The terracotta clay Captain has an organic richness to it like the pigment of earth, complemented with the off-white Kilim pattern and an aged, textural effect that makes it appear like a rug.

The Pattern History 

Kilim rugs are of Turkish origin and the name is used to describe a pileless rug, made using a flatweaving technique. Created by artisans for thousands of years, the explorer Mark Aurel Stein found kilim rugs dating to the fourth or fifth century, in Hotan China, but they remain a favourite floor covering in homes today. Kilim weavers often favour diagonal, geometric patterns and can include symbols within the motif
