ZINDHEK N° 400ZKH


A small Zindhek, 2000s, created for every day use with a pattern that seems borrowed from the design language of the 1960s. It is hardly imaginable that this was the source of inspiration, but the overall color palette and the concentric pattern with its wild surface are reminiscent of the 60s aesthetic. Zindheks are most often made of industrial yarns and grain bags, by pulling loops of yarn through a woven plastic base. In this case, the base is constructed of two plastic pieces that have been sewn together.

BOUJAD rugs are made by Arab tribes and Arabised Berber tribes but they are named after the town of Boujad. The surrounding region of this town lies in the western foothills of the Middle Atlas adjoining the Zaer tribal territory in the extreme western corner, and the town Beni Mellal at the northernmost edge of Western High Atlas. The knotted rugs have typically a low pile and are often made with mixed materials such as wool, cotton, textile scraps and industrial yarns. Their designs are often highly individual containing Berber motifs, motifs found in Rabat rugs, distorted checkerboard fields and gestural abstract patterns- all in lively colors.
