The Workshop
Sunset comes from the Tetouan cooperative workshop with which Moroccan Corridor works directly. Knowing the workshop gives this piece a place beyond the collection name: a loom, a working relationship, and people whose work continues into the objects we bring home.
The artisans describe supplying textiles to merchants in nearby Chefchaouen. That connection is part of the collection’s story. Tetouan is where this blanket is woven; Chefchaouen remains the city with which it is associated.
We value the small variations that remain in a handwoven textile. They invite a closer look at the surface, not for flawless repetition, but for the particular character of the piece in front of us.
Collector’s Note
We chose Sunset for the way its darker passages hold the brighter ones. The orange is striking, but it is the depth around it that gives the whole composition its balance. Fold the textile differently and that balance shifts, revealing another part of the same palette.
Sunset is our name for that impression of lingering light, not a claim about what the weaver intended. What drew us to the piece was its ability to feel vivid without needing an elaborate motif.
It is a blanket we would place among quieter materials and keep within reach. Not a finishing touch reserved for the photograph, but a textile whose place in the room becomes more natural with use.
The light changes. The weave keeps its colour.
