Autumn 2025: Rug & Kilim’s Five Picks for the Season of Warmth and Reverie
1. Jean-Claude Bissery’s “Forestière” Tapestry SKU 32380 The autumn of 2025 marks a decisive return to warmth. Across ateliers and showrooms, designers are rethinking comfort through the lens of material honesty and emotional color. Pale greys are receding; in their place rise umber, ochre, sienna, and burnished red—the shades of firelight and falling leaves. At Rug & Kilim, this shift feels almost cyclical. The atelier’s fall picks reveal how color, texture, and craft become instruments of atmosphere—how rugs, once seen as grounding elements, now lead the dialogue of a room. Here, we present five standout pieces from Rug & Kilim’s collection that encapsulate the soul of the season: tactile, painterly, and timelessly refined.

Modern Abstract Rugs: The Future of Design?
The power of negative space in modern rug design presents the ultimate luxury - the courage to leave space unfilled. The evolution of abstract rugs in contemporary spaces represents a fundamental shift in how textiles function within modern interiors. These pieces have transcended their traditional role as mere floor coverings to become architectural elements that define and divide space through strategic use of pattern, void, and chromatic tension. Contemporary abstract rugs operate on multiple spatial levels. At their most basic, they serve as foundational pieces that ground furniture arrangements.

A Complete Guide to Silk Material for Rugs
Owning silk is not merely a possession; it is a statement of sophistication, a declaration of discerning taste and elevated living. The natural sheen of the silk serves to both bring out the brilliance of these palettes below—as well as to emphasize the tactile finesse, texture, and subtle variations of color between the geometric patterns; themselves enjoying a graceful design sensibility and soothing sense of repetition and movement suitable to a variety of interiors. Silk rugs, steeped in a rich history dating back to Persian royalty, have long epitomized luxury and elegance. Today, they remain cherished possessions for collectors and esteemed symbols of antiquity in contemporary homes. What sets silk rugs apart is their unparalleled beauty, attributed to the natural luster of silk and the exquisite intricacy of the patterns meticulously woven with finely tied knots. So captivating is their allure that many opt to display these masterpieces on walls, where their stunning craftsmanship can be admired as art rather than being tread upon.

Petra Börner: The Swedish Illustrator and her Scandinavian Inspirations.
Petra Börner, the Sweden-born, London-based illustrator and artist renowned for her vibrant ink and watercolor depictions of florals, foliage, and Grecian-inspired figures, finds both inspiration and disquiet in nature. Despite her love for London, where she has resided for 26 years, Börner, hailing from the Swedish countryside, holds values distinct from the city. She expresses a sense of despair towards the modern disconnection from the outdoors, a sentiment exacerbated by urban living. This disconnection fuels the prominence of flora and fauna in Börner's artistic creations. Her works, spanning paper cut-outs, paintings, collages, ceramics, and prints, feature dense, meandering, maze-like patterns and fields of color that evoke a sense of being lost—a visual exploration of her desire to reconnect with nature.

A Brief History of Tiger Rugs: The Art and Design of an Iconic Class of Animal Pictorials
Above, custom runner by Rug & Kilim inspired by Tibetan Tiger rugs adorns an upstairs hallway in the work of Cordaro Design. 2022, as the first year of the tiger rug renaissance, was no less than a metamorphosis in the world of fashion, art and design. Art went beyond the obvious — it became a manifesto; a modern language of design that transcends boundaries and celebrates the essence of wild. 2022 as the Chinese year of the Tiger, witnessed the design and fashion industry embracing tigers as the spirit animal and design muse. "Tomorrow’s Tigers" — a global commitment initiated by the World Wide Fund of Nature to double the numbers of tigers around the world — was the featured project ‘Art For Your World’ which helps tackle the climate crisis through the medium of art. It was a major fundraising event observed by twelve acclaimed contemporary designers who introduced new interpretations of tiger rugs, as inspired from predecessors and the wild tiger, and exhibited at Sotheby's London.

A Glossary of Handmade Rugs and Kilims: Understanding Terms, Types and Techniques Past and Present
Referring to the art style characterized by using shape and color withdrawn from traditional repetition or realism. Abstract rugs — sometimes referred to as art rugs — capture an expressive nature that reads as a very modern style, though many abstract rugs draw inspiration from works of the same art style in the mid-century. One of the more widely known mid-century lineages of this style is abstract expressionism, named for the literal "expressionists" of the 1950s. Some of the most notable names behind this style include Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Referring to a lineage of nomadic Persian rugs (sometimes referred to as “Avsar” in the alternate spelling). Afshar rugs hail from the eponymous tribe in the region of Northeastern Iran.
