Product Insights
The Iman Ancient Geometry Handcrafted Rug by Indaba revives Neolithic Anatolian motifs—tracing back to 7000 BCE—in a handcrafted flatweave with deliberate fading that mimics antique vegetable-dyed Turkish kilims. Made from textile waste and colored without re-dyeing, it saves water and chemicals while directly supporting artisan livelihoods through a maker-to-user commerce model. Its warm ecru palette and faded geometric patterns create an airy, heirloom look that zones open layouts and visually expands small spaces when paired with wood floors. However, as a soft flatweave best suited for low-traffic rooms, it requires a rug pad to prevent furniture indentations and sheds initially, though shedding diminishes with vacuuming.
