We are showcasing three stunning kilim designs which are part of a new collaboration between ISHKAR and the Norwegian Refugee Council. Each is handmade individually in an ancient and traditional way, but the finished design has a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. This kilim was inspired by the fields of pomegranates growing across Afghanistan. Anar is the word for pomegranate in Dari.

Part of what makes Afghanistan’s kilims so special is the Ghazni wool from which they are made. Each strand of wool is individually spun by hand, giving the kilims great character. This type of wool is also famously hardwearing, meaning Afghan carpets can survive for centuries.
Please note that no two kilims are ever identical, they are characterised by slight irregularities that are typical of handmade pieces.
