Motif and place
Cacım: not a motif, a sequence
Cacım is a flatweave, and its geometry comes from repetition. Motifs are laser-engraved onto metal as a band, with the sequence and repetition of the weave kept intact.
Cacım is flatwoven, and its order comes from repetition: a motif is set, it enters a sequence, the sequence becomes a band. The strength of a motif is not in standing alone but in what sits next to it.
This is why we engrave bands rather than single enlarged motifs. Pull one diamond out of a weave, scale it up and centre it, and you have made a logo out of something that was never a logo.
You will notice we do not tell you what any of these motifs mean. That is deliberate. There are many conflicting accounts of what a given form is supposed to signify, and we are not willing to pick one and print it as fact next to something we are selling.
