Nassima — meaning “the breeze” — is as elegant as it is commanding. Woven by Lalla Meryem, a rare woman cheffe of a Berber tribe near El Ksiba, this Beni Ourain rug reflects both clarity and leadership. Unlike traditional tribal rugs filled with motifs, Nassima chooses silence and minimalism — with long, bold black lines tracing their way across soft ivory wool, like the path of a wind that leaves no trace but changes everything.
Each line represents a decision, a direction, or a boundary. For Lalla Meryem, weaving is not just art — it’s governance, memory, and resistance. Nassima is a tribute to feminine power, refined and unapologetic.
