The Saqqara Step

"The Architecture of Ascent."

Before the smooth slopes of Giza, there was Saqqara. The ancients built their first stairway to the sky in layers of stone, creating the Step Pyramid. The Saqqara Step is a woven tribute to this architectural miracle.


This rug is defined by its disciplined, horizontal tiered design. Alternating bands of warm cocoa earth and limestone cream create a rhythmic structure that grounds a room instantly. Within each band, intricate geometric diamonds are raised in textured relief, mimicking the ornate carvings found in the oldest temple complexes.

Commission Notes

"The precision required for the layered stripe design is immense. The weaver must maintain perfect tension to keep the horizontal bands straight and the geometric relief crisp across the entire width of the loom. You are commissioning a masterclass in loom control."
