20180 Vintage Berber Moroccan Rug with Checkerboard Pattern and Cubist Post-Modern Style, Inspired by Douglas Coupland 04’09 x 07’06. With its Primitive charm and checkerboard design, this vintage Berber Moroccan rug sizes beautifully with Mid-Century Modern architecture. Alternating square blocks of color combined with the vibrant color palette form an all-over checkerboard pattern. While the simplistic square pattern may seem whimsical and random, it is very telling of the rug weaver’s personal experience and life events. Unlike circles, squares have straight lines and represent the structured (natural) order of the world. Squares represent an enclosed space symbolizing a safe abode of permanence and security. Although contemporary and modern design is known for a clean, sleek, and Minimalist appearance, this Berber Moroccan rug is far from plain and simple with its alluring composition. Staying true to its Postmodern Bauhaus style and displaying a hard edge painting style, graphic color block pattern, bold form and colors, this Moroccan rug draws inspiration from Douglas Coupland, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Piet Mondrian, and Karl Benjamin. Rendered in warm earth-tones and variegated shades of orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, black, brown and gray. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Measures: 4'09 x 7'06.
