System Chaos is a kilim designed by Edgar Bąk, one of today’s most renowned Polish graphic designers, exclusively for Splot. Edgar Bąk works with a visual language of simple geometric forms and neat typography, and both are present here: reduced to only two colors and a few shapes, the kilim still builds an enigmatic pattern with a modern, minimalist and highly original quality.
In the ancient Greek imagination, Chaos was the initial state of the world, a bottomless, directionless chasm from which the Cosmos emerged. Seen through this tapestry, the idea seems less disordered, since Chaos is the beginning of everything. The kilim is held in the collections of Polish museums, including the Silesian Museum in Katowice and the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź.
The art of kilim weaving has long been part of Polish tradition and aesthetics. Where kilim design in many regions remains rooted in conventional, repetitive patterns, Poland has used the kilim as a vehicle for modernity since the early 1900s, a medium for contemporary design and artistic expression.
Splot’s kilims are handcrafted with two weaving centers of distinctive heritage. This one comes from Bobowa, near Kraków, where the weaving tradition goes back more than 70 years. The kilims are woven densely on a linen warp from hand-spun wool, whose soft bouclé texture gives them a subtle irregularity, depth and organic character.
When ordering, please specify fringes on both sides, one side or none, and hanging fixtures for vertical or horizontal hanging, or none.
