Beni Berber

This rug in light green brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of roughly 90,000 knots per m², the painstaking work shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely rendered details. At 302 × 241 cm, it works well as a large living-room rug. It also looks the part in the dining room under a table for six to eight. This one-of-a-kind piece lends the room a character of its own and holds its value far beyond short-lived trends.

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.

The weft and warp threads of this Beni Berber are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and has give, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

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.
