In her design work, Zofia Strumillo is inspired by Polish folk culture’s heritage as well as science and technology. Her explorations have resulted in the creation of the Wave kilim, which refers to the foundations of quantum physics and the wave-like behavior of matter, but also to the characteristic folk striped textiles called “pasiak”. Wave is presented in a color scheme composed of sea greens and navy blues. The diamond pattern, characteristically deconstructed by the designer, is woven “with a loop” giving the fabric a ripple effect, making it a three-dimensional experience.
The art of kilim weaving has long been an integral part of Polish tradition and aesthetics. In contrast to many regions worldwide, where kilim design remains rooted in conventional, repetitive patterns, Poland has embraced this form of textile as a conduit for modernity since the early 1900s, serving as a medium for contemporary design and artistic expression.
Splot’s kilims are handcrafted in collaboration with two weaving centers that boast a unique heritage. The tradition of weaving in Bobowa, located near Kraków, dates back over 70 years.
In Bobowa, we craft our contemporary, expressive kilims with a dense, refined texture, woven on a linen warp. The wool we use is hand-spun, and its soft bouclé texture gives the kilims a subtle irregularity and depth, building their organic, unique character.
