Marmoucha Raised Grid — Terracotta & Ivory

A sculptural Marmoucha composition from the Middle Atlas: plush ivory squares rise in relief over a terracotta ground, forming a calm, modern grid. The motif abstracts Amazigh order and balance while the banded ends and hand-twisted fringe preserve ancestral finishing.

Weave & Touch

Hand-knotted in lanolin-rich Atlas wool. Alternating pile heights create the raised-square topology—cloud-soft underfoot with crisp geometric edges. The ground reads as a lower, terracotta field that sets off the ivory relief.
