Extraordinary Beni Ourain Rug: Abstract Zigzag in Crimson & Teal

This hand-knotted rug is a stunning piece of modern Berber textile art. While traditionally Beni Ourain rugs are cream with black lines, this piece is an example of a contemporary interpretation, often associated with the abstract, expressive freedom of nearby tribes like the Azilal, but woven in a dense pile.

• Dominant Color: The central field is a solid, vibrant deep crimson or fire-engine red wool, which provides a dramatic and energetic backdrop. The high pile gives the red depth and dimension.
• Design: The pattern is minimalist yet bold, featuring four vertical, abstract, and highly textural zigzag lines that run the full length of the rug.
  • The two inner zigzags are dense black/dark charcoal wool.
  • The two outer zigzags are contrasting teal or deep turquoise wool, often symbolizing protection or water in Berber belief.
• Texture: The rug features a high, plush shag pile, characteristic of traditional Beni Ourain/Middle Atlas weaving, designed for ultimate warmth and comfort. The simplicity of the pattern focuses attention entirely on the vibrant color and soft texture.

This rug is a striking statement piece that merges the luxurious texture of Beni Ourain with the abstract spontaneity of modern art.
