Irregular lozenges emerge through changes in texture across this 160 × 100 cm Marmoucha wool runner. Narrow recessed lines cross the ivory surface, separating raised areas of pile into an open, gently uneven diamond pattern.

Provenance & Craft

From Atelier des Atlas, this handwoven Amazigh runner combines wool pile with recessed woven channels. A broad ivory woven band interrupts the pile across the lower portion, and a narrow woven strip leads into fine cream fringe at the near short end.

Design Vocabulary

The lozenges vary in width and alignment, with some opening into partial shapes along the sides. Their outlines remain close in color to the surrounding pile, allowing light and shadow to define the pattern. The horizontal woven band adds a clear pause within the continuous network of diagonals.
