Turkish Kilim Upholstered Yoga Stool

This Turkish Kilim Upholstered Yoga Stool is crafted with fragments of a tribal Central Anatolian kilim, richly decorated with symbols of the Earth Mother, encircled by the all-seeing eye and various protection charms. These motifs carry profound cultural and spiritual significance, reflecting the deep-rooted beliefs of the region’s weaving traditions. Each stool is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece, preserving the heritage of textiles originally woven to cover floors or divans—raised benches used for sitting or sleeping. Over time, as these kilims naturally incurred wear and damage, reusable sections were carefully salvaged and repurposed into pillowcases or upholstery, as demonstrated in this stool. Made from 100% hand-spun mountain wool and handwoven in the early 20th century, it exemplifies masterful craftsmanship and authentic artistry. This stool seamlessly blends cultural legacy with modern function, offering both comfort and a meaningful connection to Anatolian history for any mind
