This striking flatweave rug is a vibrant example of Zanafi craftsmanship, a celebrated weaving style from the High Atlas mountains near Ouarzazate. Unlike the plush pile rugs of the north, Zanafi rugs are kilims, prized for their tight, tapestry-like construction and intricate geometric details. This piece features a bold, rhythmic composition defined by alternating horizontal bands.

The design creates a powerful visual cadence, switching between solid stripes of deep charcoal grey and saturated “pomegranate” red, and wider bands filled with complex Berber motifs. These geometric friezes contain diamond chains, chevrons, and smaller tribal symbols woven in contrasting shades of orange, sage green, and ivory. The result is a rug that feels both structured and spirited, bringing a warm, energetic pulse to a room.

Hand-woven from 100% natural wool, this kilim is durable and reversible, with a flat profile that makes it ideal for high-traffic areas like dining rooms or entryways where furniture needs to move easily. Weighing 9 kg, it has a sturdy, substantial handle despite being a flatweave. Its generous length (nearly 3.5 meters) makes it perfect for anchoring a large living space or a long hallway with a touch of authentic Moroccan artistry.
