What you seeA close crop of the peak of a large kilim diamond, its bands of madder, cream, indigo and saffron climbing in big woven blocks on a cream ground.

What it meansIn slit-tapestry weaving the weft turns back where two colours meet, which is why kilim diagonals climb in steps and leave small vertical slits.

Where it worksBold and simple, it holds its own in a large room or an open-plan space.
