Night Lattice — Marmoucha Black Field with Saffron Diamonds (120 × 180 cm)
A striking Marmoucha on a deep black ground, drawn with a crisp saffron diamond lattice. Plush, even pile delivers a velvety hand, while flatweave aprons and natural fringe keep the finish authentically Atlas. A modern statement with ceremonial restraint.
Glyph Reading
The open lozenge lattice is the Amazigh protection net—interlinked gates that steward continuity and safe passage. On a dark “night” field, the saffron lines act as axis recall, guiding movement corner to corner. Energetically, the piece grounds space and concentrates warmth and focus.
