Blue angular paths run through an expansive ivory field in this 400 × 300 cm Marmoucha wool rug. Broad pile sections alternate with narrow blue flatwoven passages, giving the repeated geometry depth across its generous format.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this wool rug belongs to the Marmoucha weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. Its mixed construction combines ivory pile with recessed blue flatweave. A narrow blue-and-ivory woven band and cream knotted fringe finish the visible short end.

Design Vocabulary

Successive bends create lengthwise chains of open diamond-like forms. The paths expand and contract as they cross the field, with small variations in angle and spacing softening the repetition. The blue lines define the composition while leaving ample space for the ivory wool’s texture.
