On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece as an oversized exemplar of contemporary interpretations of Indian Dhurrie flatweaves. The monochromatic palette of cool grays against a white ground creates a refined sense of depth and dimension, while maintaining a cool and minimalist aesthetic. The design alternates between three distinct motifs: a latticed diamond pattern creating a crosshatch effect, a modernist interpretation of traditional stick figures or geometric patterns in a repetitive formation, and bands of subtle checkered texturing. One of the many beauties that distinguishes this Dhurrie from other contemporary Indian rugs and flatweaves is its particular minimalist style—an exemplary use of few colors and repetitive patterns in an outstanding versatile size that achieves the quintessential look so sought after in this provenance. It’s a simple, yet sophisticated work of its kind that speaks to both traditional Indian textile arts and modernist design principles. See less
