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.

Pattern

The clear, abstract design of this contemporary rug speaks especially to people who love simple, modern interiors and architecture. The design idea for this rug comes from Europe. Free from the rules of traditional rug patterns, it was developed for Western art and interior styles. That is not an entirely new development, though. The roots of European rug design go back to Art Deco rugs, which were made to Western specifications between the late twenties and the fifties.

The colours of this Furry Berber shine out in bright multicolour.

Material

The hand-spun wool of this Berber rug's fluffy pile, dyed with natural colours, 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. Berber rugs feel almost like a soft blanket – the kind you would happily take to bed with you. The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Furry Berber is made of new wool.
