A remix of primitive echoes.
A complex technique taken to another aesthetic dimension. The GLAOUI collection consists of a series of designs that eclectically and harmoniously combine a varied style of patterns, made using three different systems incorporated into the Moroccan handcrafted textile method after which the collection is named. Mixing hand-weaving, hand-knotted, and hand-embroidery, the result is a series of rugs and poufs in changing textures and sizes, with a wealth of pattern combinations.Collection designer Sandra Figuerola was inspiredby the colours and topography of Africa and India.
