Wacław is a kilim by Splot, conceived as a memory of awe at the drawings of Wacław Szpakowski. The designer describes being absorbed by the optimism of linearity and the consistency of continuous lines, and a long fascination with architects and engineers such as Oskar Hansen, Buckminster Fuller and Wacław Szpakowski, alongside the contemporary Philip Rahm: work about reflection, order, principle and complexity, leading patiently to a solution while promising continuation.
The kilim recalls a particular experience: following one of Szpakowski’s lines with finger and eye while listening to a violin melody by Adam Bałdych that follows its fractal score. Reflecting on the order and simplicity of a kilim’s structure, and on a new form for this fascination combined with a tendency to use color boldly, led to Wacław.
Splot’s kilims are handcrafted with two weaving centers of distinctive heritage. This one is woven in Bobowa, near Kraków, where the weaving tradition goes back more than 70 years, densely on a linen warp from hand-spun wool whose soft bouclé texture adds subtle irregularity and depth.
When ordering, please specify fringes on both sides, one side or none, and hanging fixtures for vertical or horizontal hanging, or none.
