A beautifully crafted decorative pillow made from an antique Turkish village kilim, this piece repurposes a fragment of early 20th century Anatolian flatweave art into a functional and enduring home object. The kilim face — with its beautiful design and naturally dyed colors — covers the front of the pillow, with a woven textile fabric on the reverse.
There is something deeply satisfying about giving new life to an antique textile — not only does the original artisan's work live on in a new form, but the practice of repurposing and recycling reduces our reliance on new materials and lowers the carbon footprint of the objects we bring into our homes. This pillow is a small but meaningful expression of that ethic: beautiful, sustainable, and rooted in centuries of craft tradition.
