felt art, known as shyrdak, is an age-old tradition of the nomadic kyrgyz people. part mosaic, part quilt, the interlocking patterns and distinctive borders of shyrdak combine to create a rich tapestry. the designs incorporate images of sacred myths and symbols, with colors reflecting the balance in nature and the cyclical rhythm of the nomad’s world.

inspired by the beauty of the shyrdak and the desire to sustain + foster this ancient craft, we are collaborating with master artisans in kyrgyzstan to create a bespoke collection, which is available through our studio, and also through the tucker robbins showroom in the new york design center. www.tuckerrobbins.com

featured here are renderings depicting a sampling of the realm of possibilities. for more information, to view our pattern catalogue, to begin a conversation about a custom piece, or to see our limited collection of smaller shyrdak currently here in the studio, email us at studio@lavivahome.com.
