The Azure Mosaic

"Mediterranean Tiles, Softened."

Alexandria is a city of layers—where ancient Greco-Roman mosaics lie beneath modern streets. The Azure Mosaic is a tribute to this coastal heritage.


This rug offers a sophisticated dual-layer design. The base is a flat-woven checkerboard of denim-blue and sandy beige, reminiscent of tiled courtyards, overlaid with a plush, raised diamond trellis in soft cream wool.

The Vibe

Coastal, historic, and highly sophisticated. It brings the refreshing, layered energy of a Mediterranean villa into a modern dining or living space.

The Heritage

Inspired by the ancient Greco-Roman tile mosaics discovered beneath the streets of Alexandria, reflecting centuries of overlapping Mediterranean cultures.

Commission Notes

"Weaving 'The Azure Mosaic' is a true test of a master artisan. It requires executing two distinct patterns simultaneously: maintaining the precise geometry of the flat-woven checkerboard base, while carefully tufting the raised cream diamond trellis over it. This dual-layer technique demands exceptional tension control to ensure neither pattern distorts the other. You are commissioning a highly complex, architectural textile."
