The design features a faded brown field broken by bands of creamy ivory that reveal stylized trees and abstract animal figures—a fabulous reimagining of the primitivist Berber designs of some of the most iconic Moroccan rugs in history.

On the Design:

This rug is a captivating visual experience, an abstract narrative woven with ancient tribal geometry and subtle symbolic motifs that transforms the floor plane into a powerful, graphic landscape.

Crafted from fine hand-knotted wool, the design leverages stark graphic contrast and clean horizontal bands to achieve its profound, earthen beauty, drawing inspiration from the rich storytelling traditions of Moroccan textiles.

The pattern is a masterful study in abstraction and storytelling, appearing as a highly stylized, layered view of a nomadic desert scene.

The expansive central field is defined by a dense, monochromatic wash of faded espresso brown and chocolate.

This rich expanse is broken by horizontal bands of creamy ivory, which feature symbolic elements: large, abstracted trees framing the sides, horizontal fence or gate motifs, and a central row of small, stylized animal figures rendered in a subtle, striking pale blue and white.

Rendered in a sophisticated, highly graphic palette, the rug's drama is achieved purely through the stark opposition of the faded brown field against the luminous cream and soft blue patterns.

The tactile quality of the wool gives the piece a comforting weight and durability. It is a powerful statement of modern artistry, combining the primal rhythm and narrative of Moroccan tribal textiles with a bold, contemporary graphic clarity, creating a mesmerizing and sophisticated foundation.
