Description
This show features the “Frachia” or “Wool Blanket (Gafsa)”, famous for its unique graphic aesthetic. The illustration highlights complex geometric patterns organized in concentric squares, including stylized representations of small characters or architectural motifs (the "houses" motif). Originating from southern Tunisia, this high wool weave is renowned for its robustness and bright colors obtained from traditional dyes. This stamp pays tribute to the creative identity of the artisans of Gafsa, whose modern and daring compositions constitute one of the jewels of Tunisian textile craftsmanship.
