Artist “Sofia Badaoui” grew up with one foot in France and the other in Morocco. 

Calikesh delivers thousands of years of Amazigh tradition into the spaces of today. Handcrafted in Taznakht, Morocco, Calikesh rugs are made by female weavers on handmade looms with high-quality wool and natural dyes.

Each rug is designed in Badaoui’s studio in Yucca Valley, California. Each piece is the product of hundreds of thousands of hand tied knots of fine, Sirouan sheep's wool. Dyes are wildcrafted from the land surrounding the volcano Siroua in the Atlas Mountains.

Sofia celebrates the similarities of the California landscape, Mojave Desert, Coachella Valley, and her Morocco.

Using different mediums to express this sentiment of "serenity without border", she transcribes these observations onto her art.

Calikesh pairs sustainable design with direct aid.

A Calikesh rug is a collectible and sustainable addition to your art collection. 

Sofia works directly with a group of women. There are no middle men, no large carbon footprint.
