The Goose Eye Kelim

The Goose Eye: A Premium Hand-Woven Geometric Kelim

The Goose Eye is a hand-woven geometric kelim designed to anchor modern interiors with timeless precision. Part of our Contemporary Collection, this piece is handmade in India by skilled artisans using traditional flat-weave techniques.

Artisanal Quality and Materials

Crafted for a luxury feel and structured finish, this piece features a blend of 80% wool and 20% cotton. The wool provides natural warmth and substantial weight underfoot, while the cotton core ensures the weave maintains its geometric integrity and stays perfectly flat on your floor.

To achieve its signature depth, our yarns are batch-dyed by hand. This process creates subtle, organic color variations throughout the weave, ensuring that every hand-woven geometric kelim we produce is a unique work of art with its own distinct character.

Why Choose the Goose Eye Design?

• Iconic Pattern: The motif is a classic architectural weave that complements Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian aesthetics.
• Low Profile: The flat-weave construction makes this hand-woven geometric kelim an excellent choice for placement under furniture in dining rooms or home offices.
• Artisanal Heritage: Each piece is woven by hand, preserving the ancestral skills of Indian weavers.

Care and Longevity

To maintain the beauty of your Indian Kelim, we recommend regular vacuuming on a low-suction setting without a beater bar. Since this is a handmade item using natural fibers, professional cleaning is recommended for significant spills. Rotating the rug every six months ensures even wear over time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Indian Kelims

How do I style a geometric kelim in a small room?

A hand-woven geometric kelim with a repeating pattern, like the Goose Eye or Honeycomb, makes a small room feel larger by providing a sense of order and rhythm. Position the front legs of your furniture on the rug to anchor the space without overwhelming it.

Is a wool and cotton blend better than 100% wool?

While 100% wool is classic, our 80/20 blend is intentional. The 20% cotton acts as the backbone of the kelim. It prevents the rug from stretching or losing its geometric shape over time, which is important for flat-weave styles.

Can I use these rugs in high-traffic areas?

Yes. Because these are flat-woven and have no pile (loops or tufts), there is nothing to crush or mat down. This makes them durable for hallways, dining rooms, and under rolling office chairs.
