On the Design:

A rich, almost ribbed pile in beige and off-white tones underscores a large-scale geometric pattern, enjoying the almost abstract feel Moroccan tribal rugs celebrate. These lines and motifs are a nod to traditional lozenges, or diamonds—a celebrated archaic motif of African tribal matriarchs whose works are recaptured in rare pieces like these. Keen eyes will note the subtle sense of movement in the underlying striae, and its natural complement to the sense of dimension the geometry enjoys atop. Admirers of the craft will further cherish the adaptation of this old-world style to a large-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
