Story Behind the Art:
Moroccan rugs trace their heritage to the nomadic Berber tribes of Morocco, whose weaving traditions arose from both necessity and creativity. Crafted to endure the cold, rugged climate of the Atlas Mountains, these thick, plush-pile rugs originally served as sleeping mats and bedding, providing warmth and comfort to nomadic families. Unlike the ornate patterns of traditional Oriental carpets, Moroccan rugs celebrate simplicity—featuring bold geometric motifs, abstract symbols, and minimalist tribal designs that express centuries of cultural storytelling.
Their introduction to Western design came in the 1930s when modernist architects such as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles and Ray Eames incorporated them into their interiors. The rugs’ soft textures and organic forms perfectly complemented the clean lines of modern furniture. Today, Moroccan-style rugs continue to inspire contemporary interiors around the world. Still handwoven in Morocco and also produced in India and Pakistan, these rugs embody authenticity, warmth, and timeless elegance—uniting heritage craftsmanship with modern design sensibility.
