roots

nature

Our studio is situated in the middle of the green lungs of Poland, in the land of one thousand lakes – Masuria. Here everything is ruled by nature. This is why we bow so deeply to this landscape; beautiful, rough and sometimes anthropogenic; this is what inspires and drives us.

background

We’ve learned to weave in the Folk Culture Museum in Węgorzewo. This place forced us to understand and appreciate the traditional techniques and these are the strong foundations of our work. Materials and techniques used in our rugs and kilims are typical for this region of Poland.

consciousness

We use sustainable high-quality materials: linen, cotton and recycled wool. Our woollen yarn is the leftover from a big Polish rug factory. Usually, too short yarn would be thrown out or used for producing grey cloths. We decided to give it a second life, agreeing to face additional challenges (more in the ‘about us’ section!).

on the floor | on the wall

Behind the brand Topole, we stand – Anka and Kaśka Dobrzyn, sisters born and raised in Masuria, Poland. We design and hand-weave utility fabrics using the kilim technique.

These are carpets, rugs and wall decorations that warm up interiors and improve acoustics. Each element of our work is made by hand, each piece of yarn passes through our hands several times.

We are inspired by the changing colours, landscapes and sounds around us. Most often, we look for inspiration in nature. In nearby meadows and forests. On the shores of lakes and rivers. In the shade of lonely trees. Discovering abandoned places and corners that only require a bit of attentiveness to find them.

We use sustainable materials: linen, cotton and recycled wool. Our woollen yarn is leftovers from a carpet factory. We decided to give it a second life.

We run weaving workshops, both on floor looms and on frames. We create custom designs, select shades and give the fabrics a unique characte

weaving

If we were to find an occupation greater than weaving – we probably could not.

Our rugs and kilims are two-sided, thick and resistant. Our materials are recycled, our designs are unique.

We have a collection of kilims and rugs in our stock, but we also love to work with our customers.

We can personalize the project or create a design based on your guidelines.

One of a kind.
