NORWEGIAN ORANGE KILIM by Danielle Puts

Netherlands

Netherlands

This ‘Norwegian orange kilim’ belongs to a colorful array of fusion-concepts, in which several different typical (ancient cultural related) themes, geometric pattern shapes, motifs, colors and used weaving and production techniques are combined, mixed or (literally) interwoven into a new and powerful contemporary intercultural motif. In this case the ‘Norwegian orange kilim’ is the handwoven end result of the cultural cross-fertilization between the typical Norwegian tradition of the ice crystal motif and the typical Oriental Kelim tradition of colorful geometric patterns. Because the ‘Norwegian orange kilim’ is both 'modern’ and ‘traditional', it is an extraordinary and unique carpet, that belongs in every distinctive interior.
Deze ‘Noorse oranje kelim’ behoort toe aan een kleurrijke reeks van fusion-concepten, waarbij diverse uiteenlopende typische (eeuwenoude cultureel gebonden) thema’s, geometrische patroonvormen, motieven, kleuren en gebruikte weef- en productietechnieken met elkaar zijn gecombineerd, gemengd of (letterlijk) verweven tot een nieuw en krachtig hedendaags intercultureel motief. In dit geval is de ‘Noorse oranje Kelim’ het handgeweven eindresultaat van de culturele kruisbestuiving tussen de typische Noorse traditie van het ijskristal-motief en de typische oosterse Kelim traditie van kleurrijke geometrische patronen. Omdat de ‘Noorse oranje Kelim’ zowel ‘modern’ als ‘traditioneel’ is, is het een buitengewoon en uniek tapijt, dat thuis hoort in elk uitgesproken interieur.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
