This hand-knotted wool 7x10 Moroccan rug by Rug & Kilim represents an exciting new line of modern tribal rugs. Its design plays Art Deco-style geometric patterns with the lush pile texture and primitivist feel of the Berber tradition. It’s one of several pieces handmade by some of the most devoted nomadic weavers in rural Morocco, both keeping a rich tradition alive and helping it to flourish with new possibilities today.
On the Design:
This piece enjoys a play black, beige-brown and copper tones in cubist geometric patterns on a bright pink field. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this subversive adaptation of the Art Deco look to such playful Moroccan colors. So, too, will they admire the high-pile texture and the comfortable, cozy look it lends these architectural patterns. The sense of dimension in these 1920s-style patterns sits beautifully in the lush, liveable primitivist style like never before. It’s a feat that marries modernism and primitivism in unprecedented, yet complementary fashion that captures the best of both. So, too, does it contribute a large scale and detail never-before seen in Moroccan tribal carpets.
Both these elements speak to the soul of this collection—a contribution of current capabilities to a time-honored weaving tradition. less
