How the cushion covers are made

We make the cushion covers from pure new wool, hand-woven by us and often finished with simple embroidery. Before weaving, we dye the new wool with plant dyes to achieve natural, luminous shades. From old Kelims that can no longer be saved as rugs, we cut out the finest sections and sew them onto a cotton back – upcycling in a small format.

The geometric patterns and glowing colours of vintage Kelim rugs are loved all over the world and bring a charm all of their own into your modern home.

Combining Kelim cushions

Kelim cushions look best in groups: two or three covers in related colours, together with a plain cushion in linen or velvet. On a grey or beige sofa, reds and blues set the accents; a colourful Kelim rug calls for quieter cushions in natural tones. Because every cushion is a one-of-a-kind piece, the first photo always shows exactly the cover you will receive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Kelim cushions

What is a kilim cushion?

A Kelim cushion is a cushion cover whose front is made from a piece of hand-woven Kelim rug. At Zomorrodi, the fragments come from Turkish vintage Kelims of the 1950s to 1970s in pure new wool; the back is cotton with a zip.

What sizes do the Kelim cushions come in?

Kilim cushions and rug cushions are available in 40 × 40, 45 × 45, 60 × 40, 60 × 30 and 50 × 50 cm. Matching cushion inserts in these standard sizes can be found in any home furnishings shop.

Is a filling included?

No, we sell the covers without inserts. That keeps the shipping light and lets you choose the filling (feathers, down or synthetic) yourself.

A sustainable alternative is to use old towels or textiles.

Can I wash Kelim cushions?

The cover should not go into the washing machine. Dab stains with lukewarm water and a cloth; if needed, hand-wash cold with a little wool detergent and leave to dry flat. Not for the tumble dryer.

What do kilim cushions cost and is there a minimum order?

Kilim cushions in 40 × 40 cm start at 25 €, rug cushions in 40 × 40 cm at 30 €. Strictly speaking there is no minimum order. But it only really becomes decorative from two cushions onwards.
Shipping within the EU is free.

Will I receive exactly the cushion in the photo?

Yes. Every cover is a one-of-a-kind piece and is photographed individually; the first image shows exactly the front you will receive.
