Border Lattice — Beni Ourain Diamond Net with Mountain Band
Border Lattice — Beni Ourain Diamond Net with Mountain Band
Border Lattice — Beni Ourain Diamond Net with Mountain Band (150 × 190 cm)
A refined Beni Ourain in undyed ivory wool with a crisp charcoal diamond lattice. A triangular mountain border band anchors one end above a classic flatweave apron and natural fringe, while black selvedge lines articulate the long edges. Plush yet controlled—architectural calm with graphic clarity.
Glyph Reading
The open lozenge net is the Amazigh protection grid—interlinked gates for continuity and safe passage. The peaked border reads as mountain/house guardianship at the threshold. A large central lozenge creates axis recall, distributing balance across the field. Energetically, the layout grounds a room while keeping it bright and open.
