KOBEIAGI KILIMS

Visual language for artisanal rug makers connecting two websites and a catalogue





Kobeiagi Kilims is a small Slovenian/Bosnian brand that designs and manufactures hand woven kilims and hand knotted rugs. They reimagined the kilim as a modern product without sacrificing its traditional method of manufacture, meaning that they use locally sourced, organic wool that is dyed with natural colours. They use ancient handcrafting techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation to make objects that last more than a lifetime.

Mainly Afternoon helped with the challenge of simplifying the user experience and managing of their existing webshop, as well to design a visual language that would connect both their websites, the shop and the new, more experimental Pattern Generator. In both, a lot of attention is given to storytelling and the connection of traditional and modern.

Prior to the two websites, we also created an experimental publication that serves as an introduction to the brand and as a folder, containing few collection catalogues. In this case, Collection 1 is in a form of a poster, Collection 2 is a booklet, containing stories of the exotic architecture of far away places.
