About us

EELAVA is a curated collection of handwoven Persian kilims sourced from regions across Iran, where weaving has been part of everyday life for centuries. Each piece reflects its place of origin, shaped by local landscapes, traditions, and knowledge passed quietly from one generation to the next.

Every kilim is handmade. Woven slowly and carefully, using techniques that have remained largely unchanged over time. These are not reproductions or decorative imitations, but original works created by skilled hands, patience, and lived experience.

Persian kilims are deeply rooted in history. Their patterns once functioned as symbols, stories, and visual memory. Over time, this language evolved into a rich vocabulary of forms, colors, and compositions, layered with meaning and cultural depth.

At EELAVA, we view these kilims not as artifacts of the past, but as living objects. Our intention is to bring them into modern life and contemporary spaces, without removing their character or complexity. Tradition and modernity are not opposites. They exist best when allowed to speak to each other.

What defines Persian kilims is their balance between ancient complexity and modern clarity. Bold geometry, nuanced color palettes, and natural irregularities create pieces that feel grounded, expressive, and unexpectedly contemporary.

Curation is central to EELAVA. Each kilim is chosen with obsession, considering craftsmanship, proportion, material integrity, and presence. We select pieces that feel timeless rather than fashionable, works that can live quietly and confidently within a space for years.

EELAVA stands at the intersection of history and the present. Of restraint and richness. Of modernism and ancestral depth. These are stories woven into time, chosen carefully for today.
