Its design is a play of both pile and flatweave together, with geometric patterns in the Berber tribal style.

On the Design:

A light gray Kilim underscores low-pile geometric patterns in creamy white—a soft palette and large-scale adaptation of primitivist geometry. Keen eyes for detail will further admire the nod to traditional lozenges, or diamonds—a celebrated archaic motif of African tribal matriarchs whose works are recaptured in these new large sizes that couldn’t be achieved by nomadic looms. Admirers of the craft will further appreciate the smart, natural high-and-low texture made by the marriage of pile and flatweave textures together, and the natural sense of dimensionality and depth it lends an otherwise comfortable, soothing all over pattern. It’s a smart adaptation of this old-world style—one that both reimagines its many beauties for the modern home while still recapturing the spirit of Moroccan weaving as well. less
