Little Chaos continues the long tradition of Poland’s leading contemporary artists designing kilims. The Chaos kilim was created by Edgar Bąk, one of the best-known Polish graphic designers working today, whose visual language is built on simple geometric forms and neat typography. Those elements carry into this kilim, designed exclusively for Splot. Reduced to just two colors and a few shapes, it still creates an enigmatic pattern with a modern, minimalist and highly original quality.
In ancient Greek thought, Chaos was the initial state of the world, a bottomless, directionless chasm from which the Cosmos emerged. Seen through Edgar Bąk’s tapestry, the idea seems less disordered, for Chaos is the beginning of everything.
Kilim weaving has long been part of Polish tradition. While in many regions kilim design stays rooted in conventional, repetitive patterns, Poland has used the textile as a medium for modern design and artistic expression since the early 1900s.
Splot’s kilims are handcrafted in collaboration with two weaving centers with a distinctive heritage. Weaving in Bobowa, near Kraków, goes back more than 70 years. There, Splot makes contemporary, expressive kilims with a dense, refined texture on a linen warp. The wool is hand-spun, and its soft bouclé texture gives each kilim a subtle irregularity and depth, building an organic, unique character.
When ordering, please specify fringes on both sides, one side or none, and hanging fixtures for vertical or horizontal display, or none.
