About this rug

Dry a clay flat and it cracks into a lattice. Tigmi means house in Amazigh, and the checkered Berber round rug stands like one: windows in a lattice, walls around them. Weavers once carried the house in their heads. Zarbish makes it today.

The arch at the top is stepped rather than curved, so the straight grid and the round edge meet without either giving way. The surround is one even tone, and the pile in it lies in a different direction from the panes, which shows as a change in sheen.

The story

How we made Tigmi

Dry a clay flat and it cracks into a lattice. Tigmi means house in Amazigh, and the checkered Berber round rug stands like one: windows in a lattice, walls around them. Weavers once carried the house in their heads. Zarbish makes it today.
