This captivating pile rug is a unique and expressive variation of Beni Ouarain weaving, moving away from the standard lattice design to embrace a rhythmic, banded composition. Handwoven in the Middle Atlas mountains, the rug features a warm, sandy beige field divided into horizontal registers, each filled with a distinct geometric pattern.

The design reads like a sampler of Berber iconography, featuring alternating bands of checkerboards, herringbone chevrons, and abstract tribal symbols that resemble ancient script or totems. These motifs are rendered in dark coffee-brown wool, creating a rich contrast against the natural undyed background. This “stratified” layout adds a sense of structure and storytelling to the piece, making it visually engaging from every angle.

Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, the rug has a soft, textured pile that adds warmth and comfort to any space. Its medium-large size (approx. 2.80 x 1.46 m) makes it versatile enough to anchor a living room seating area or to serve as a wide runner in a spacious hallway or gallery. The combination of traditional materials with this distinct, patterned design makes it a standout piece for bohemian, eclectic, or modern rustic interiors.
