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 repeating elements of this Furry Berber rug have no particular centre. The recurring repeat pattern feels calming without ever being dull. Rugs with a repeat pattern are also described as all-over patterned.

The abstract, geometric composition is what gives this Furry Berber its understated elegance. The pattern flatters the design of the room and never draws attention away from the furniture, the decor or the architectural details. It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room.

The background of this Furry Berber is cream white. The overall impression is also dominated by beige and light brown.

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.
