Nee Veranda

The kilim was created in accordance with Cepelia's (Central Folk Art and Crafts Union) tradition of weaving on a linen warp, where the weft is a thick tapestry yarn, and is partly produced by us, by hand, on a spinning wheel from wools from the Podhale region, and partly by using up the existing stock of the Bobowa Cooperative, according to zero waste principles. The natural materials and traditional manual techniques used to make the Large Weranda kilim ensure that it will last for generations turning the art of design into a heritage piece.

When designing the kilim for Splot, Zofia Strumillo analyzed the wooden architecture of Poland's Podlasie region, and it was from here that she took the leading theme of her work. The modular form of a traditional country veranda in her interpretation breaks apart as if a result of a computer glitch accumulating on the fabric's surface. However, if we were to consider carefully, the loom and the computer are united by the same binary principle of operation—zeros and ones, threads of weft and warp intertwining with each other, creating unique patterns.

Anyone who wishes to have the  Veranda kilim at home can also personalize the colors of the textile to match their own interior, adding their own unique character to this piece. For  please email us for customization.
