Sillage is defined by a continuous sequence of lines that rise and curve from left to right, creating a fluid sense of movement, rhythm and relief. Inspired by natural formations, the design evokes the layered contours of a landscape, the grain of wood and surfaces gradually shaped by wind or water.

The 10th Anniversary collection

In celebration of ISHKAR's 10th anniversary, we have invited 10 artists and designers to interpret the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan by designing a carpet each, which have all been handmade by master weavers in Afghanistan. 
The artists were each designers to each asked to create a unique rug design exploring the theme of “Togetherness”, in celebration of connection - across borders, cultures, and creative practices. 

10% of all sales will support the vital work of EMERGENCY hospitals in Afghanistan, providing free, high-quality care to people affected by conflict and poverty.

The Weavers

Situated at the heart of the ancient silk road, for millennia Afghanistan has been known for making some of the finest rugs in the world. Since 2016 ISHKAR has worked with master weavers in Afghanistan to produce luxurious rugs which marry traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Every step of the production process is made by hand, from the spinning and dyeing of the wool, to the trimming, binding and washing of the rug. Each piece has its own individual character and bears the distinct mark of the artisans who brought it to life.

The Wool

The carpets are hand-knotted using Ghazni wool, a variety of wool unique to Afghanistan known for its luxuriant finish as well as its unique way of absorbing colour which gives the carpets Abrash - the technical term used to describe the mottled effect given by each strand of wool's subtle variation of colour.
