The design features a light, central diamond lattice framed by abstract panels of pixelated blocks in a soft, contemporary palette of ivory, peach, and light blue tones—whimsical primitivist geometric patterns inspired by the Berber weaving traditions, reimagined a high-end quality that honors the soul of time-honored tribal provenances from the Atlas Mountains.

On the Design:

This rug is a vibrant and highly textural abstract composition that transforms the floor plane into a canvas of soft geometry and playful contrasts.

Crafted from hand-knotted wool and silk, the design is structured like a meticulously assembled tapestry, utilizing distinct vertical panels and scattered, mosaic-like motifs.

Admirers of the craft will particularly enjoy the constructions reimagining of a boucherouite rug texture, sometimes called “rag rugs” for nomadic use of different fabrics, now married to a gentle, natural sheen in this wool and silk blend that brilliantly enhances the sense of movement and presence such bold patterns enjoy—one of many contributions to the Moroccan look that underscore this collection.

The pattern is a masterful study in deconstruction, anchored by a central column of traditional diamond lattice patterns rendered in muted tones of blue, black, and ivory.

This geometric core is flanked by wide side panels featuring abstract, pixelated blocks and scattered geometric confetti in a light, refreshing palette of pale peach, dusty rose, and soft mint green.

The effect is a sophisticated, "happening" texture that maintains balance through the dominance of creamy ivory negative space.

Rendered in a light, highly variegated pastel palette, the rug’s dynamism is achieved through the juxtaposition of formal geometry and spontaneous abstract blocks.

The plush tactile quality of the wool gives the piece a comforting weight and contemporary elegance. It is a striking piece of modern artistry, offering a light, colorful, and unique foundation. See less
