Kahina is the dark red and black one in the middle. Filmed overhead, no sound.
Kahina
SoldThe shaggiest of the group, and the one with the most movement. Deep red and black work through each other in irregular diagonal drifts — nothing repeats, nothing lines up. The pile is long enough that the pattern shifts as you walk past it. Cut from a boucherouite rag rug, the most improvised of Moroccan weaving traditions.
An ivory ground with a repeating diamond lattice in a soft, tone-on-tone weave. Quiet and understated, letting the pile texture and diamond structure carry the design.
One woman wove Lina, once. When she finds her home, she is never made again.

Ships unstuffed as a cover, flat-packed — this is how Moroccan poufs travel, and it keeps the shipping affordable. There is a zip along the underside, so filling it at home is quick: old clothing, fabric scraps, cushion inserts or beanbag fill all work. It holds roughly 50 litres — about a large bin-bag of clothing, or one 50 L beanbag insert.

Kahina has been placed.
Every pouf is cut from a vintage rug that will never be woven again, so when one sells that pattern is gone for good. The rest of the poufs are still here, and more are on the way — get in touch if you want something in the same spirit.
