This rug is absolutely poetic in its restraint — a soft, cream wool base traced with a single amber-brown line, almost like a brushstroke or a trail. The line evokes movement, sensuality, and fluidity. It could be read as a camel, a gesture, or simply a desert curve shaped by wind and time.
Jamal — a play on the Arabic word for beauty and a nod to the word camel (jmel) — this rug captures the quiet elegance of desert life. A single amber line sweeps across a soft wool field like a memory: part gesture, part silhouette, part story. Handwoven by a women’s cooperative in southern Algeria using 100% locally sourced wool, this rug is plush, sculptural, and deeply meditative in its simplicity. Each line is traced by hand — a signature of presence, not perfection.
Soft, textured, and made in limited quantities, each piece supports traditional craftsmanship and ethical production.
