Embracing the principles of Biophilic Design, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Kars rug seamlessly integrates natural elements into interior spaces.

Against a warm brown backdrop reminiscent of Anatolian landscapes, the rug creates a tranquil atmosphere that invites inhabitants to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors from within the comfort of their home.
Encircling the rug is a repeating Ram's Horn border set against a dark brown background, offering a structured frame that complements the organic flow of the interior space. This border not only provides definition but also serves as a reminder of the rugged terrain and wildlife that characterize Anatolia's natural landscape. Herati motifs, also known as the "fish" or "Mahi" design, typically feature a central rosette or diamond surrounded by curling leaves, often resembling a fish or a turtle. These motifs are commonly found in Persian and Oriental rug designs and are believed to symbolize water, fertility, and the cycle of life. The central rosette represents a flower or a pool of water, while the curling leaves symbolize fish or aquatic life. Overall, Herati motifs are associated with prosperity, abundance, and the interconnectedness of life. The earth-tone colors woven into the rug further enhance its Biophilic appeal, echoing the hues of soil, foliage, and wood, while the nature-inspired design infuses the space with a sense of vitality and connection to the natural world.
