With Primitive, Oaxacan artisans Alejandro and Veronica craft a contemporary statement in their typical canvas of wool. Bold stripes of marigold, cochineal, and indigo offer a minimalist take on the ancestral dyes of their region. The striking simplicity of this 79” x 118” rug juxtaposes the complexity of their ancient Zapotec weaving techniques.

The artists return to basics, drawing inspiration from the primary colors and materials used generation after generation in this Mexican folk art. This modern, elemental palette gives Primitive an otherworldly beauty.

You can display it to enliven a space through color and texture. Primitive represents the foundations of the artists’ craft, meticulously hand-spun and hand-woven to create an ancient-meets-modern masterpiece.
