\"Berber<\/a><\/p>\n

We spotted this charmingly painted wall of a Berber house in Ouno’s great post<\/a> about the beautiful “broken” geometry of Berber rugs from the Beni Ourain region. We were intitially inspired by the idea of chalking or painting an image\/pattern like this on the side of ANY building – a sort of mental d-i-y \u00a0fantasy – \u00a0when we got blown away by this bit of text about the rugs, which applies to so much else.<\/p>\n

“this semi-controlled disorder is said to function as a talisman against evil and as a promoter of \u00a0fertility. But it also seems to emanate from the nomadic culture\u2019s more general tolerance of uncertainty, nothingness and change.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The rug themselves offering curiously modernist designs to apply elsewhere, perhaps for painting fabrics, walls or floors.<\/p>\n
