Kordi Rugs

"Kordi" is simply the Kurdish word for Kurdish, these are rugs attributed broadly to Kurdish weavers across the vast arc of Kurdish-inhabited Iran, from Kurdistan and Kermanshah to Khorasan. Kurdish rugs are stout and solid in structure, woven with the symmetrical knot on a wool foundation, and carry a distinctive character that swings from bold geometric to softly floral depending on the regional sub-tradition.

The color palette tends toward deep, saturated hues: rich reds, indigo blues, warm golds and greens, with natural dye variation (abrash) adding organic life to the field. The pile is typically medium to high, hand-spun from locally grazed sheep, giving Kurdish rugs a warm, tactile quality that synthetic or urban weaving rarely matches.

A Kordi rug brings honest authenticity to any space, the direct, unmediated expression of Kurdish weaving culture at its most essential.
