Its design represents 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:

A humble palette of light neutral colors, mainly cream white and beige-brown tones, underscores a geometric pattern inspired by traditional lozenge motifs—a long-celebrated symbol of Berber primitivist carpets and folk art. Keen eyes for detail will note a play of two textures in the field and pattern respectively—a lush, high-pile wool in the former, while the latter enjoys a looped series of squares that make up the pattern. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the subtle high-and-low element that this lends the sense of depth and dimension of the piece, as well as the introduction of such a modern element that still plays naturally with the rich, textural look and feel of a true Moroccan rug. The result is both a cozy, comfortable choice for any space and a rich marriage of contemporary and traditional design, which speaks to the soul of this collection—striving to contribute to an iconic style while still preserving its soul and honoring its foundations. less
