Story Behind the Art:
With roots deep in the nomadic traditions of Morocco’s Berber tribes, Moroccan rugs were born out of both practicality and artistry. Crafted to endure the cold, rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountains, these thick, plush-pile rugs originally served as sleeping mats and blankets, providing essential warmth and comfort. Unlike ornate Oriental carpets, Moroccan rugs embrace simplicity—celebrating geometric tribal motifs, symbolic patterns, and earthy tones that reflect the culture and spirit of Berber craftsmanship.
Their global appeal began in the 1930s when modernist architects and designers such as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles and Ray Eames incorporated them into minimalist interiors. The rugs’ rich texture and organic charm softened the clean lines of modern design, creating a perfect visual balance. Today, Moroccan-style rugs continue to captivate designers and homeowners worldwide. Expertly woven in Morocco, as well as in India and Pakistan, these timeless rugs combine heritage, warmth, and versatility—bringing effortless elegance to contemporary and classic spaces alike.
