“Kyma” Modern Dhurrie Geometric Ivory Hand-Knotted Cotton Rug N12171 16'0" × 31'4" $39,000

Kyma turns a disciplined stripe system into a calm, architectural field, where slate blue bands ripple across ivory edges with a subtle, wave-like rhythm. Its name, drawn from the Greek word for wave, suits the gentle undulation of the linear grid and the quiet motion embedded in the design.

The full-field composition skips a central medallion and heavy border treatment, relying instead on tightly repeated horizontal bands and fine woven geometry for structure. In the main field, slender slate-blue lines create a cool, tailored presence, while the broader ivory ends soften the palette and frame the rug with understated contrast. The result is orderly, but never severe.

Woven in cotton as a flat-woven dhurrie, Kyma has the crisp hand and low-profile texture that suit modern rugs and natural-fiber interiors. Its minimalist yet tribal-inflected pattern brings visual interest without clutter, making it an elegant foundation for open-plan living rooms, dining areas, and contemporary spaces that call for pattern, clarity, and restraint.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects the gallery's dedication to pairing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design vision. DLB offers an expansive selection of modern rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making exceptional carpet art accessible to designers and collectors alike.
