It features a continuous double-diamond lattice and protective tribal symbols in dark charcoal across a salmon pink field.

On the Design:

Distinguished by its warm, sunset-inspired tonality and rhythmic geometry, this mid-century Berber runner exemplifies the sophisticated tribal art of the High Atlas region. An expansive length is bathed in a glowing wash of salmon pink, coral, and soft apricot peach, creating a radiant, sun-dappled surface. Traversing this long field is an intricate double-diamond lattice, rendered in crisp charcoal-black pick-stitching that provides a striking graphic counterpoint to the warm, luminous ground.

Rooted in ancestral Berber symbolism, the repeating lozenge shapes traditionally evoke protection, life pathways, and feminine fertility. Housed within each primary diamond is a nested secondary lozenge accompanied by delicate, dotted tribal amulets, illustrating the weaver's intuitive mastery of scale and repetition. The refined, lower-profile pile ensures every geometric line retains its sharp architectural clarity while delivering a smooth, durable feel underfoot. Tailored for grand entry corridors, expansive hallways, and gallery spaces, this runner brings an artful, historic presence to modern residential interiors. The accompanying book, Anni Albers: On Weaving by Anni Albers, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B126) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
