A long cobalt-blue rectangle sits within alternating bands of ivory and blue in this 300 × 200 cm Marmoucha wool rug. The broad blue border repeats the color of the center, framing the composition from edge to edge.

Provenance & Craft

From Atelier des Atlas, this handwoven Amazigh rug has a textured wool pile. A narrow pale edge and cream fringe in loose bundles finish the short end shown in the foreground.

Design Vocabulary

A slender blue frame separates the two ivory bands. Fine recessed lines follow the edges of the rectangles, giving the color transitions a shallow relief. Slight variations in the outlines soften the long, straight geometry.
