Zanafi Lightning-Guard Kilim — Mist Grey & Ivory
Zanafi Lightning-Guard Kilim — Mist Grey & Ivory (250 × 150 cm)
High Atlas Zanafi hanbel composed on a finely striated mist-grey field. Mirrored zigzag “lightning” guards in ivory frame the composition with quiet energy, joined at mid-height by a traditional loom band—a graphic yet restrained statement of Amazigh syntax.
Weave & Touch
Traditional flat-weave (kilim/hanbel) ground with supplementary-weft brocade / over-stitch to articulate the raised zigzag guards and end finish. Firm yet supple hand, largely reversible and beautifully drapeable beneath dining tables or in living rooms.
