Beni Berber
This one-of-a-kind piece in light green brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 100k-150k knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 254 × 79 cm it works well as a runner or hallway rug. The harmonious colouring and the distinctive texture give any room an exclusive, welcoming 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, predominantly women, played freely and spontaneously with shapes and colours – without any pattern templates – following their own ideas and their individual intuition. That is why the traditional pattern of Moroccan Berber rugs typically consists of geometric, sometimes colourful, abstract shapes and lines on monochrome backgrounds. Our Beni Berber rugs are inspired by these traditional patterns.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
This hand-knotted Berber rug has a dense, relatively high pile. That makes it wonderfully cosy and hard-wearing. Traditionally, Berber rugs – just like Lori or Gabbeh rugs – were used for sleeping. They invite you to sit and lounge about in the living room, but they also work beautifully in hallways and dining areas. The warp and weft yarns of this Berber rug are cotton, and the pile is made of wool that is dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. This hand-spun wool is what gives the Loris their soft surface.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.
We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.
That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
