Furry Berber

This rug in cream white and black and white exists only once in this form: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 60,000 knots per m², the elaborate work shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine execution of the details. At 240 × 172 cm, it works as a living room rug. It also looks good under a dining table for four to six people. Colouring and texture lend the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

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 threads of this Furry Berber are made of wool. Cotton was used for the warp threads.

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.
