A Marmoucha rug defined by saturated green wool and a structured ivory lattice.

This composition presents a vibrant verdant field articulated through an irregular grid of undyed ivory channels. The surface appears as a terrain of raised wool blocks separated by linear passages, producing a strong sense of rhythm and spatial segmentation across the rug.

The pile is dense and plush, creating a tactile relief where each square cell slightly rises above the recessed ivory lines. Such construction emphasizes the physicality of the wool, allowing light to articulate the geometry through shadow rather than graphic outline.

Rooted in the Marmoucha weaving tradition of the Middle Atlas, this rug balances bold chromatic presence with structural simplicity. The grid does not impose rigid symmetry; instead, its slight irregularities preserve the hand-drawn character of the textile.
