A Berber wool rug: authenticity, softness and modernity

This Berber wool rug embodies the perfect blend of Moroccan craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Woven entirely by hand in the High Atlas Mountains, it reflects the expertise of the women weavers of the Beni Ouarain tribes. The wool comes from local sheep and is unbleached and untreated with chemicals, giving the rug a soft, thick, and naturally insulating texture.

The design breaks with traditional conventions while preserving the symbolic essence of Berber rugs. The motifs harmonize beautifully against a natural ecru background. This carefully considered contrast enhances the legibility of the design without ever weighing down the overall effect. Each motif seems to converse with the others, creating a fluid and contemporary visual interplay. This geometric composition, both free and structured, infuses the space with rhythm without sacrificing its understated elegance. The aesthetic remains true to the Berber spirit while embracing a modern and decorative language.

A cultural heritage woven into every thread

Each Moroccan rug is a piece of history. The women who make them draw inspiration from oral traditions, tribal symbols, and their own imaginations. The lines and patterns seen in this design are not merely decorative: they evoke fertility, life, the mountains, and spirituality. This visual language is passed down from generation to generation.

Weaving this rug can take several weeks. It requires concentration, patience, and perfect mastery of the vertical loom. By choosing this model, you are not only valuing a handcrafted piece, but you are also supporting an ancient and endangered craft.

A decorative rug that's also practical for everyday use.

The Berber wool rug is designed to last. It fits perfectly in a bedroom, living room, or even an office. Its density makes it resistant to frequent foot traffic. Thanks to its natural wool composition, it offers excellent thermal insulation, especially in winter, while still allowing air to circulate.

For maintenance, vacuum it gently every week without using a rotating brush to avoid damaging the natural wool. It is advisable to shake the rug outdoors occasionally to remove accumulated dust. Professional cleaning every two or three years will revive the fibers without damaging them. This regular care preserves the vibrancy of the colors and the softness of the weave over time. This rug is also compatible with underfloor heating, as the wool allows heat to pass through. You will find detailed care instructions in our guide on the BERB website.
