Description from the seller

Colours of the Atlas – a unique handmade piece of Berber textile art

This special rug is entirely handwoven in Moroccan Berber/Amazigh tradition, with wool used for both the pile and the underlying structure. The result is a wonderfully soft and characterful wool-on-wool rug with a distinct, artistic look.

The composition is built from a playful mosaic of geometric shapes, lines and abstract motifs. No two fields are exactly the same. It is precisely these irregularities, subtle color differences and small variations in the handiwork that give the rug its authentic character.

The many colors make the piece exceptionally expressive. Terracotta, red, pink, ochre, turquoise, green, cream, black and earth tones come together in a harmonious whole. The warm natural hues alternate with bright colors, making the rug suitable for both modern and bohemian, vintage or eclectic interiors.

The symbolism

Amazigh/Berber rugs are known for their symbolic and personal visual language. Geometric shapes, lines and abstract signs are traditionally used to express themes from daily life and nature, such as protection, femininity, fertility, connectedness, movement and harmony.

The exact meaning of a motif can vary by region, community and weaver. In this rug, it is especially the combination of different geometric shapes and colors that gives it its unique, almost painterly appearance.

The rug thus feels not only as a home decor piece, but rather as a handmade artwork for the floor.
