"Structure as Sanctuary."
For centuries, the Citadel stood as the guardian of the city, a fortress of stone where geometry was used as a shield. The Citadel Lattice draws its strength from this architectural legacy.
This rug moves beyond the traditional 2D weave, featuring a bold, raised 'rope' pattern that sits high above a tightly woven grey base. The interlocking diamond motifs recall the ancient Mashrabiya screens.
*Made to Order. Allow 4-6 weeks for artisan weaving. Hand-knotted in Egypt.
A striking Modern 3D effect. The geometric lattice is raised like a relief carving, creating deep shadows.
Fortress Grey. A cool, sophisticated silver-grey that mimics weathered granite.
Imposing, secure, and highly sophisticated. It anchors a room with the quiet authority of stone, perfect for minimalist or industrial spaces.
Inspired by the interlocking defensive structures of the Cairo Citadel. Woven with a thick gauge yarn to ensure structural integrity and longevity.
"The raised 'rope' lattice technique is an exercise in three-dimensional weaving. The artisan must carefully float the thick wool over the flat weave base, requiring extreme tension control to ensure the geometric grid remains perfectly symmetrical. You are commissioning a textile sculpture."
