Contemporary design rooted in ancestral craftsmanship
Studio-Lid Moroccan rugs embody the subtle dialogue between contemporary creation and centuries-old Berber heritage. Each piece is conceived as a true textile artwork, where the authenticity of traditional motifs meets a resolutely modern aesthetic vision.
The Design of Studio-Lid Moroccan Rugs
Patterns rich in history and meaning
For centuries, the rugs woven by Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains have captivated with their graphic strength, symbolic depth, and freedom of composition. Far from being mere decorative elements, their motifs tell stories, express beliefs and emotions, and carry fragments of life passed down through generations.
This rich visual and symbolic language has crossed borders, becoming a major source of inspiration for European modern art.
When Modern Art Meets the Moroccan Rug
At the beginning of the 20th century, several iconic artists discovered in North Africa a new way of thinking about color, surface, and rhythm:
- Henri Matisse, profoundly influenced by his travels in Morocco, integrated Moroccan rugs and textiles into his compositions, making pattern a central element of painting.
- Paul Klee, fascinated by signs and repetitive structures, found in Berber art a universal visual language closely linked to abstraction.
- Wassily Kandinsky, in his search for a painting freed from representation, shared this symbolic and rhythmic approach to the pictorial surface.
- Later, Nicolas de Staël and Jean Dubuffet extended this fascination with materiality, spontaneity, and so-called “primitive” art.
Studio-Lid: A Contemporary Interpretation
Studio-Lid continues this artistic lineage by offering reimagined Moroccan rugs, where ancestral motifs are refined, rebalanced, and adapted to contemporary interiors. Lines become more graphic, compositions more airy, while fully respecting the soul of traditional craftsmanship.
Each Studio-Lid rug is the result of:
- Authentic artisanal workmanship,
- a modern reinterpretation of Moroccan heritage,
- and an aesthetic exploration inspired by art history and contemporary design.
