Berber Moroccan Rug with Pastel Colors and Postmodern Memphis Style 06'10 x
09'09. This hand knotted wool contemporary Berber Moroccan rug with
Postmodern Memphis style features an ambiguous organic shape composed of open-ended
lozenge filled with lines flanked with a wide V-shape charcoal band spread
across a two-tone abrashed field. The open-ended lozenge is outlined in creamy
beige and charcoal on a mauve, rose, and lavender striated backdrop flanked by
a series of colorful horizontal rectangular bands. The large-scale V-shape is
outlined in creamy-beige on a striated backdrop of aqua and sky blue flanked
with vertical bands in alternating colors at the end. The tribal symbols of
diamonds, lozenges, V-shapes, symbolize womanhood and fertility. The
rectangular bands and zigzag lines along the sides traditionally represent
snakes, which are seen as a male motif. In Moroccan rugs, male motifs often
appear on the outer portions of the composition, framing and enclosing the
female motifs. This presentation can be seen as symbolizing fertility, as well
as protection and the sanctuary of the family. This depth of meaning presented
in a bold, energetic form is what make Moroccan rugs such as this one such
wonderful additions to contemporary interiors. Staying true to ancient Berber
Tribe symbolism, postmodern style, bold form and pastel colors, this Berber
Moroccan rug draws inspiration from Ettore Sottsass, Shiro Kuramata, Michael
Graves, and Massimo Iosa Ghini. Perfect for adding organic tactile sensations
to a living room, family room, game room, playroom, bedroom, study, studio,
office, sitting room, children's area, nursery, man cave, rumpus room, or
