Description
- From chartreuse and purple to indigo, burnt orange and crimson red, colors radiate character and feeling. We use natural dyes from plant sources that generate varying shades and hues. Natural dyes are expensive and hard to work with but they yield incredibly vibrant and lasting colors. Natural colors can be uneven and they can vary from rug to rug - properties that make a rug unique.
- Next to color, pattern is what makes a rug special. People relate to patterns that resonate with their personality and environment. Whether drawing inspiration from centuries old symbols loaded with cultural meaning or working with designers who interpret and reflect contemporary culture and urban life in their designs, dhoku has a wide range of styles in unpretentious combinations.
- 100% organic handspun wool is what gives a rug its special touch and lets you feel the nature in it. dhoku collects its wool from free-grazing sheeps of shepherds and tribal rug makers in remote Anatolian villages. Irregular fibers form an uneven surface and coloring, resulting in natural looking rugs that are impossible to duplicate.
- dhoku innovated the "gapless" weaving technique that creates seamless transitions, and patterns with smoother definition. Combining new ways of weaving with centuries-old craftsmanship and practices, dhoku sustains an unmatched quality in kilims and rugs.
Hailing from the centuries old Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, dhoku is a forward-thinking brand translating Anatolia's rich heritage into contemporary designs. Innovative weaving techniques meet explorations in new patterns and three dimensional designs as dhoku crosses beyond the boundaries of traditional rug making practices and contributes to sustainability of centuries old cultures and fair trade practices.
