Bujaad Berber Rug (249x157cm)

Berber rugs have arguable influenced modern art since the beginning of the past century. In 1928, the famous Swiss-French architect, Le Corbusier, completed his extravagant project: Villa La Roche, on the outskirts of Paris. The design was an extremely simplistic, bunker-like structure with concrete walls, floors and scarse furniture. In order to warm up the interior, he used several Berber rugs in similar design.
These Berber rugs made little impact on the home decor at the time, but their colour complexity and abstract patterns heavily impacted the development of Dada, Futurism and Modernist paintings
