Caprino 4 is a rectangular rug in wool.Caprino flatweaves are made of Goat’s Hair, hence the name. They are weather and water resistance since they were principally used to line the walls and ceilings of nomadic tents. The designs are minimalist… mainly stripes and usually made using undyed Goat's Hair, with occasional highlights of thin coloured stripes. The colourful selvedges and pompoms are a Zollanvari touch. Highly adaptable… highly decorative…Zollanvari ‘minimalist’ kilims are diverse. Baneh kilims are woven in northern regions in sections using natural undyed wools and then skilfully stitched together. The one-piece Zagros kilims woven by the Luri and Ghashgha’i nomads are monochromatic. They have traditional ‘lazy lines’ that form subtle patterns of diamonds and squares. Maryam kilims, woven by the same tribes, have plain ground colours with repeat motifs hand-embroidered in pure silk, awarded Best Innovation at the CDAs in 2009. The jewel in the crown of our ‘minimalist’ flatweaves is a collection that draws inspiration from the old and antique Mazandaran kilims that have appeared on the market in the past decade – a truly modern collection. Caprino is a new flatweave collection woven from undyed goat’s hair on which pile-knotted erratic modernist lines in bright colours are superimposed.
