Monochrome Order is a handwoven Beni Ourain rug crafted high in the Central Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. Its stark grid of alternating dark and ivory squares evokes the primal geometry of thought and rhythm—where opposites engage in perfect visual tension.
This rug exemplifies the minimalist elegance found in ancestral Amazigh weaving traditions. Its composition is bold yet meditative: black wool naturally dyed using walnut husk or iron oxide set into a soft, creamy wool field handspun by the weaver herself. Each square is not only a visual gesture but a spatial pulse—a silent chant on repetition, logic, and cosmic dualities.
Both graphic and grounding, this piece elevates modern interiors while preserving the soul of rural North African craftsmanship. A collector’s object for those seeking visual purity with ethnographic depth.
