Marmoucha Relief Atlas — Chalk Ivory
Marmoucha Relief Atlas — Chalk Ivory
Marmoucha Relief Atlas — Chalk Ivory (296 × 196 cm)
Substantial Marmoucha pile rug from the Northern Middle Atlas, articulated in a sculpted high–low relief. Linear channels traverse an undyed ivory field, distilling Amazigh geometry into quiet architectural pathways—minimalist, tactile, and deeply grounded.
Weave & Touch
Dense hand-knotted wool pile on a strong foundation, then differentially sheared to draw relief lines (high–low carving). The handle is plush and velvety with the resilient spring typical of Atlas fleeces.
