Raised ivory rectangles form an irregular grid across this 300 × 200 cm Marmoucha wool rug. Narrow beige woven channels separate the pile blocks, creating a relief pattern whose definition comes from texture and shadow.

Provenance & Craft

From Atelier des Atlas, this handwoven Amazigh rug combines wool pile with flatwoven channels. At the short end shown in the foreground, a beige woven band finishes in spaced cream fringe bundles.

Design Vocabulary

Lengthwise channels divide the field into uneven columns, each broken by short horizontal lines. The rectangles vary in height and width, with gently rounded corners and staggered junctions. The close ivory-and-beige palette brings the raised surfaces and recessed paths into focus.
