Furry Berber
This one-of-a-kind piece in beige and dark brown unites traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 40,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing and the finely executed details. At 235 × 170 cm, it works well as a living-room rug. It also cuts a fine figure in an office. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture give any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin
Berber rugs were traditionally knotted for use in the home. The weavers, mostly women, played freely and spontaneously with shapes and colours – without any pattern templates – following their personal ideas and their individual intuition. This is why the traditional pattern of Moroccan Berber rugs typically consists of geometric, sometimes colourful, abstract shapes and lines on monochrome backgrounds. Our Furry Berbers are inspired by traditional Moroccan Berber rugs and their high pile.Architects and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Charles and Ray Eames, Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer and Arne Jacobsen loved the naive, clear design of these high-pile Moroccan nomad rugs. Their powerful artistic expression gives them an extraordinary presence and makes Berber rugs quite incomparable – even setting aside how soft they feel underfoot.
Material
The hand-spun, naturally dyed wool of this Berber rug's fluffy pile creates fascinating, shifting patterns. Our Berber rugs are hand-knotted and will last a lifetime. Even so, their long pile makes them unusually soft and fluffy. A Berber rug feels almost like a soft blanket, the kind you would happily take to bed with you.The weft and warp threads of this Furry Berber are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
