Berber rug - 320 x 194 cm

Modern Boujad rug | Handwoven wool rug, pastel ivory with central diamond medallion This modern Boujad rug features a large central diamond-shaped medallion — rendered in soft shades of mint green, taupe, and anthracite grey — that stands out against a pastel ivory background with delicate pinkish undertones. On either side, columns of small motifs resembling butterflies (in mint green, taupe, and cream) frame the main design, while a bold zigzag in anthracite grey highlights the border; the overall effect offers a refined and balanced symmetry, rarely seen in the more free and spontaneous creations typical of this tradition. Hand-knotted with dense, plush wool by Berber women from the Boujad region (Morocco), this rug transposes the symbolic richness of traditional weaving into a carefully structured pastel palette. Soft grey fringes finish both ends, a traditional detail that grounds the refined design of the piece in the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship. With its softly toned pastel background and imposing central medallion, this modern Boujad rug serves as a discreet yet striking centrepiece for interiors seeking understated patterns. Authentic Boujad artisanal craftsmanship Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Boujad weaving techniques: Berber women shape a thickness of dense wool row by row, directly on the loom, placing each symbol and motif freehand. Here, this process gives rise to a more structured and symmetrical composition than the freer abstraction usually associated with Boujad rugs; this reflects the diversity of this tradition, ranging from the spontaneous arrangement of colour blocks to carefully balanced designs centred around a medallion.
