Rug & Kilim presents a contemporary Moroccan masterpiece, hand-knotted in premium wool with a distinctive ribbed-like texture. This indoor kilim draws inspiration from antique Berber weaving, where beige underscores a rich chocolate brown field of primitive patterns. The high-low pile creates a tactile, cultured personality, while modern geometry offers a clean aesthetic for high-traffic spaces. Beyond its tribal allure, this gracious carpet features a non-pilling, stain-resistant construction that is fade-resistant and floor heating safe. Innovation meets tradition in a design that is mold, mildew, and odor resistant—a sophisticated foundation that balances heritage with durability.

Crafted entirely by hand from the finest New Zealand wool for softness and designed to provide a woolly plush pile in a fun design.

Hand-knotted wool crafts this Beni Ourain-inspired rug. Natural fibers and bold black accents offer gentle juxtaposition. Following a technique and tradition dating back thousands of years, each hand-knotted rug can take two to three master weavers five to six weeks to complete, depending on the size and intricacy of each rug. Every hand-knotted rug is designed to wear beautifully over time, making them heirlooms to be passed down for generations.

In the historic area encompassing the modern nation of Morocco, the tradition of rug-making is just about as old as it is anywhere in the world. The early adoption of rug-making by native Moroccans is certainly due in large part to the distinctive climate of the region: Moroccan rugs may be very thick with a heavy pile, making them useful for the snow-capped Atlas Mountains; or they may be flat woven and light as to suit the hot climate of the Sahara desert. The nomadic Moroccans and Berber tribes used these pile, knotted, and flat-woven carpets as bed coverings and sleeping mats, as well as for self-adornment, Some of these rugs were also used for as saddle blankets. The designs that most frequently appear in Moroccan rugs are traditional and ancient, passed down from weaver to weaver. Elsewhere in Morocco, most major cities have a unique style or design characteristic that distinguishes their carpets. Perhaps the most important carpet-producing city in Morocco is the long time Moroccan capital, Fes. Fes reached its golden age during the Marinid Dynasty of the thirteenth century. At that point, the city was home to over one hundred dye workers and thousands of artisan embroidery studios located in the city's Medina. The coastal capital, Rabat, is famous for carpets woven with floral and diamond-shaped elements, and a fairly bare field. Moroccan rugs experienced a growth in popularity in the West with mid-century modern designers – such as Le Corbusier – who paired the thick piled Berber rugs with their sleekly designed furniture. Many of these Berber carpets are woven by the Beni Ourain peoples from the Rif Mountains near Taza. Colors vary from neutral shades to popping hues, with designs ranging from ordered geometric shapes to a more free-form, expressive pattern. Part of the appeal to the modernists was the primitivism in the carpets. Unlike the traditional antique Oriental rugs found in Western interior decoration, there is little elegance about these rugs, yet they fit wonderfully with modernist décor. Moroccan rugs are fairly popular today for their decorative flexibility and reasonable pricing .
