A Middle Atlas Boujaad workshop interpreting the Zanafi hanbel in a modernist register: saturated blocks of carmine, saffron, marigold, slate-grey, and deep indigo float on an undyed ivory field. Soft, feathered edges where colors meet create a painterly transition—gallery-clean yet unmistakably Amazigh.

Weave & Touch

Traditional flat-weave (kilim/hanbel) with interlocked tapestry color changes to achieve the blurred joins, complemented by a hand-braided end band with red cross-stitch and soft tassels. The handle is firm yet supple and largely reversible for versatile placement under dining tables or in high-traffic salons.
