Signal Square — Beni Mrirt Relief Grid with Accent
Signal Square — Beni Mrirt Relief Grid with Accent (200 × 300 cm)
A contemporary Beni Mrirt in a warm sand/ivory ground, carved into a sculptural grid of raised squares. One terracotta-brown square “signals” the composition, adding a refined point of focus. Dense, velvety pile; short flatweave aprons with natural fringe complete the authentic Atlas finish.
Glyph Reading
The checked reticulation parcels the field into measured cells—an Amazigh logic of order and protection. A subtle longitudinal join acts as axis recall, and the single colored square works as a signal/seed for intention and renewal. Energetically, this piece grounds large rooms while directing calm focus.
