On the Design:

This piece enjoys a play of creamy white, bright blue and gray geometric patterns, in which keen eyes may note a subtle inspiration from vintage and antique Art Deco rugs. Admirers of the craft will further note the especially lush, cozy high-pile texture that seldom enjoys such modernist sensibilities in this complementary fashion. These elements speak to the soul of this collection—a contribution of current capabilities to a time-honored weaving tradition, in which each work is handmade by some of the most devoted nomadic weavers in rural Morocco, both keeping a rich tradition alive and helping it to flourish with new possibilities today. This square rug’s versatile size further lends to vast possibilities, both in small spaces and flooring projects calling for accent rugs as well as wall-hanging projects welcoming a brilliant work of modern folk art.
