Kaliya

KĀLIYA - Romidrian

Hand-tufted rug from India

Manufacturing time: 8 to 10 weeks

“Kāliya” (कालिय) means in Sanskrit deep darkness, intensity, contained power .
A name that evokes the power of shadow, the density of black pigments and the dramatic contrast between light and matter.
A natural choice for this rug with a contemporary aesthetic, where black and ivory meet in a vibrant and expressive composition.

Hand-tufted in the state of Uttar Pradesh, KĀLIYA is distinguished by its abstract pattern , inspired by ink art, dark rocks, and eroded natural textures. The irregular, almost organic shapes seem to emerge from the wool like fragments of a mineral landscape or spontaneous artistic traces.
This vibrant design, both raw and refined, creates a strong visual impact while retaining a subtle elegance.

Its deep black/natural ivory palette, resolutely modern, allows the rug to integrate into minimalist, artistic or contemporary interiors.
KĀLIYA brings relief, character and sophistication, instantly becoming the centerpiece of a space.

The fabric, a carefully crafted blend of wool and plant-based silk (viscose) — or 100% wool upon request — offers a dense, soft, and subtly luminous feel. Darker areas gain depth while lighter areas delicately reflect light, creating a subtle interplay between matte and glossy.
Each piece displays natural variations in fiber and tone, the authentic signature of handcrafted work.

In a modern living room, a graphic entryway or a creative office, KĀLIYA diffuses an intense and balancing energy.
It structures the floor like an abstract work of art, bringing relief, contrast, and texture to the space.

The excellence of hand-tufted

 Hand-tufting is a traditional technique that allows for great creative freedom and remarkable precision in both shape and texture. Each loop of wool is applied manually using a tufting gun, guided by the expert hand of the artisan. This approach results in a dense, comfortable, and even pile, as well as exceptionally refined sculpting. Controlled at every stage—tufting, cutting, sculpting, washing, and finishing—hand-tufting guarantees a durable, stable, and perfectly executed rug, while also allowing for contemporary, organic, or textured patterns impossible to achieve by machine. The result: an elegant, expressive, and inviting rug, designed to gracefully age beautifully.
