A small raised diamond anchors this 300 × 200 cm Marmoucha wool rug. Successive bands of warm ivory pile widen around it, separated by recessed gray-taupe channels that sharpen the outline of each diamond.

Provenance & Craft

From Atelier des Atlas, this handwoven Amazigh rug combines raised wool pile with flatwoven channels. At the short end shown in the foreground, a narrow gray-taupe woven band leads into cream braided fringe with loose tassel tips.

Design Vocabulary

The inner lozenges form complete outlines around the center. As they widen, the outer lozenges meet the edges of the rug and continue as parallel diagonals. Slight variations in the width of the pile bands soften the geometry.

Marmoucha mixed weave with concentric ivory lozenges defined by recessed flatweave.
