Zemmour Kilim — Ivory Atlas Ledger

A luminous Zemmour flatweave from the Zaer plateau, this piece unfolds as a minimalist ledger of Amazigh geometry. On an ivory ground, alternating registers of protection bands, arrow glyphs, and crossed lozenges speak of lineage, fertility, and safe passage. The restrained charcoal framework anchors a composition softened by subtle pastel punctuations— rose, sky, saffron—woven into timeless equilibrium.

Weave & Touch

Handwoven kilim from fine Atlas wool, compactly beaten for a supple yet firm handle. The weaving alternates flat tapestry sections and supplementary brocade to articulate the geometry, maintaining crisp definition and a reversible finish ideal for both floor and wall display.
