On the Design:

Connoisseurs may admire the black and white field underscores geometry in the form of diamond patterns—a larger repeat of diamonds made up of smaller ones within each medallion of the lattice, where gold and cream white hues are interwoven with the higher pile. Admirers of the craft will note this design draws inspiration from the lozenge motif of Moroccan matriarchal symbols—often seen in smaller-size rugs and Kilims, though it’s been adapted to a more large-scale, modern concept in this piece.

The result is fabulous textural work, both comfortable and livable while teeming with the air of culture and quality inspired by rugs of the middle Atlas mountains and their nomadic weavers. Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the adaptation of this old-world style to a versatile-size, scale, and intricate look—one that both reimagines its many beauties for the modern home while still recapturing the beauty of Moroccan tribal weaving as well. less
