TYPOLOGY OF BERBER RUGS
Morocco and its regions are full of cultural specificities, which offers us a very huge preference of home-made rugs!
Here are some essential types of moroccan rugs
- Boucherouite rug :
The Boucherouite rug is absolutely the busiest carpet model in history! This carpet is initially crafted from scrap fabric recovered and recycled via weavers (wool, cotton, upholstery, djellabas, caftans). An actual explosion of colors, the Boucherouite brings a bohemian and offbeat touch to the ecosystem of your room.
- Zanafi rug:
The Zanafi rug owes its name to the tribe of the identical name, positioned in the mountains of the Moroccan High Atlas. This type is outstanding by means of its original weaving and most often has dominant colorings (black and white, for example). This wool-woven rug is flat and has instant strains, geometric styles woven in comfort, and fringes on the edges. It has the distinction of being reversible!
- Beni Ourain Rug:
I ought to! The Beni Ourain rug comes to us from the Atlas Mountains, where the winters are specifically cold.
In the past, carpets served as a seat and cowl for tribes that lived in tents. This type of carpet is distinguished with the aid of the softness and density of its wool, which comes from the primary shearing of Berber sheep, "Marmoucha," a breed specific to this area.
Carpets of this type are white or beige, with minimalist styles (strains, diamonds, and dots). Considering the rarity of the wool used to make a proper Beni Ouarain, it is the most highly priced carpet model.
Beni Ouarain carpet will bring warmth, softness, and refinement to your indoors!
- Azilal rug:
Azilal rugs are real works of art. Inspired by Beni Ourain and Boucherouite, this type of carpet from the Azilal area is an intimate piece that symbolizes identity and the family dimension. This kind of carpet has commenced to be advertised these days (approximately two decades ago). This carpet, product of wool (on occasion blending wool and cotton), offers real freedom of expression to weavers, who weave more unfastened and variable patterns that may be found on a Beni Ouarain, for example. The wool can be less dense than on a Beni Ouarain because the hair is shorter and the weaving technique is exceptional. The Azilal remains a smooth and very cushty version!
