Berber carpet

The berber carpet represents an extraordinary actual testimony of the ancient berber culture. Its exceptional variety and originality fully express the handicraft tradition that is handed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter.

If it were possible to assist today to the workmanship of a berber carpet, we could participate in the creation of an art object with which the woman makes concrete the history of her tribe, the history of her own family and the daily experiences.

The berber berber is an unique carpet and not easily classifiable that is strongly characterized by other momadic carpets. We could call it a "rebellious" carpet, strongly tribal, a real object of art.
For these characteristics it results actual, abstract and contemporarily expression of the reality, in continuous movement.

Francis Ramirez has written:

”The beauty of the carpet is especially in the subject, the harmony of figures and colors, the endless aesthetical beauty and in the escape from sterile. But their superior beauty it's the hidden sense, the encrypt sense that makes these carpets more than a textile, a true text. The ancient carpet created by the hands of the weaver appears as a manuscript of writing silence.”
