Berber Kilim Rug - 285 x 194 cm

Modern Boujad rug | Flat-woven wool rug with diamond pattern This modern Boujad rug features a tightly woven wool structure; its diamond pattern is outlined in sharp black lines against a soft ivory grey background. A triangular zigzag border frames both sides, while a woven band runs horizontally across the central field, adding subtle structure to the clean geometry of the whole. Handwoven by Berber women from the Boujad region of Morocco, this rug exemplifies the flat-weaving technique — a process based on interlacing weft threads rather than knotting pile. The result is a smooth, fine surface, lighter to the touch than thick wool rugs. Soft black and white fringes finish both ends, a traditional detail that grounds the sharp geometry of the pattern in the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship. With its ivory grey background and well-defined diamond pattern, this modern Boujad rug offers a simple and versatile design, ideal for interiors that favour clean lines and the authentic texture of handmade items. Authentic Boujad artisanal craftsmanship Each rug is entirely handwoven according to the traditional flat-weaving techniques of Boujad: wool threads are manually interlaced on the loom to create a flat and durable surface, without knotted pile. This weaving tradition, developed by Berber women from the Boujad region, allows for precise geometric patterns that stand out sharply against the solid background. The sharp diamond pattern and zigzag border reflect a more structured and minimalist facet of Boujad weaving. They testify to the diversity of this tradition — beyond the more well-known dense, multicoloured rugs — while preserving the irregularities inherent in handmade work (slight variations in lines and spacing).
