The shyrdak is a Kyrgyz mosaic felt rug made by cutting two contrasting sheets of dyed wool felt into mirrored shapes and stitching them together — the positive of one becomes the negative of the other. Mountain women in the Tien Shan and Alai valleys have been making shyrdaks for weddings and everyday use for centuries, creating bold ram-horn spirals, butterfly silhouettes, and four-petal flowers in punchy two-tone palettes.

This design system channels that cut-and-stitch clarity: colour blocks ARE the design, geometry is bilateral and mirrored, and every surface carries the warmth of pressed wool and chain-stitch edges. The palette draws from vermilion-on-cream and indigo-on-ochre pairings found in traditional rugs, grounded on a raw wool beige that feels like a yurt floor.
