Berber tent pillow hunting in Azrou 🍭🍭🍭⁠
⁠
Despite their same provenance, there is a huge diversity in these idiosyncratic Berber tent pillows. ⁠
⁠
In every piece, each weaver reinterprets with mastery and creativity ancient geometric patterns specific to her own lineage, constantly updating a tradition that's always in flux. ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Weavers do not use symbols and motifs in a straightforward, iconographical manner, but these motifs are the result of the reworking of ancestral traditions developed over the centuries.

Detail of an Azilal rug: dominant chevrons and rhomboids are set against a natural wool background.🔥🔥

Introducing our first carpet...replete in warm shades of red, orange, pink and complemented by a faded yellow lozenge pattern that gently radiates through the composition. Different lengths and textures of blue, green, turquoise, beige, and red yarn are knotted to create a floating assemblage of geometric shapes, such as an octagram, a large diamond, and smaller rectangles. 1980s, 233 x 98 cm.
