Fatima’s Checkerboard Flatweave

Description

This rug was designed by Fatima, who created her own interpretation of the classic checkered design. It will be handwoven by artisans from the Aït Ouaouzguite tribe.

Known for being thin, soft, and strong, Flatweave rugs—often referred to as hanbel or aknif in Arabic—are rich in symbolism and woven throughout southern Morocco, a region renowned for producing the highest quality flatweaves.

Made from 100% “live” Moroccan sheep’s wool, this piece is dyed using all-natural spices and plants, depending on the final color.
