Wool Kilim Pillow, United States

Lines turn corners, double back and turn again, never quite repeating.

This kilim pillow comes from the United States and is contemporary, made of wool. Kilims are flatwoven textiles, traditionally from Turkey, Persia, the Caucasus and Central Asia, woven without pile so the pattern sits right in the structure of the cloth. The pattern shown is a field of pale panels, each filled with interlocking lines, zigzags, lozenges and key shapes in soft grey on cream. The overall effect is calm and labyrinthine. It is 26 inches long and 12 high.

A good place to rest a head and lose a train of thought.
