The design features a bold, central diamond lattice framed by complex horizontal bands of tribal patterns, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep brown, mauve, and soft gray tones—primitivist geometric patterns inspired by Berber weaving traditions, reimagined in a high-end quality that honors the soul of time-honored tribal provenances from the Atlas Mountains.

On the Design:

This rug is a captivating visual experience, an abstract composition of subtle geometry and rich texture that transforms the floor plane into a canvas of quiet sophistication.

Crafted from hand-knotted wool, the design is structured like a meticulously assembled tapestry, utilizing a central field and complex border bands.

Admirers of the craft will particularly enjoy the rug’s reimagining of a traditional Moroccan 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 geometric rhythm, anchored by a prominent diamond lattice rendered in soft gray and taupe that is subtly integrated into a rich field of deep brown and mauve.

This central core is framed by wide horizontal bands featuring intricate tribal motifs and striae, which echo the geometric complexity.

The effect is a sophisticated, layered texture that maintains balance through its masterful use of color and geometry.

Rendered in a muted yet rich palette, the rug’s dynamism is achieved through the juxtaposition of the large, central geometry and the fine, detailed borders.

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 sophisticated and unique foundation. See less
