This is the Alexandra rug from GAN's Glaoui collection, a design made using a complex handmade method of Morrocan origins that alternates three different techniques, from which the collection takes its name. For this reason, the piece presents changing textures and volumes throughout its colorful design, accomplished by knotting, flat weaving and embroidery.
Available in two sizes, this is the most colorful version of the Alexandra model, woven with 100% virgin wool yarns in shades of turquoise, green, red, orange, brown, pink and green, among others. As an accent, the rug has braided fringes.
