Rows of raised wool rectangles form a quiet geometric field in this 200 × 130 cm Marmoucha rug. Its warm ivory palette brings the surface into focus, with narrow recessed lines defining each block.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this wool rug belongs to the Marmoucha weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. Pile sections alternate with narrow flatwoven channels, creating a textured grid. Cream fringe finishes both short ends.

Design Vocabulary

Lengthwise channels intersect with crosswise lines to create rows of rectangular compartments. Small variations in their proportions soften the repetition, while the continuous ivory color lets light and shadow articulate the pattern.
