This striking pile rug is a sophisticated inversion of the classic Beni Ouarain aesthetic, handwoven in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. While the traditional style features a white field with dark lines, this piece presents a dramatic, moody composition with a deep charcoal and slate-black background. This “negative” colorway creates a powerful modern statement, grounding the space with a sense of depth and mystery while retaining the soulful irregularities of Berber craftsmanship.

The design features the iconic tribal lattice of large-scale diamonds, sketched here in contrasting lines of natural cream and sandy beige wool. The interplay between the dark, textured field and the light geometric tracing creates a high-contrast visual that is both bold and elegant. The wool used for the background is not a flat black but a rich melange of dark natural tones, giving the rug a vibrant, organic surface that changes subtly under different lighting conditions.

Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, the rug boasts a thick, plush pile that is exceptionally soft and warm. Weighing 10 kg, it offers a dense, luxurious feel underfoot, making it a perfect choice for adding comfort and acoustic dampening to a room. Its monochromatic palette and “brutalist” charm make it an ideal centerpiece for industrial lofts, minimalist contemporary homes, or monochromatic interiors seeking texture and warmth.
