Contemporary Boujad Rug - 296 x 180 cm

Modern Boujad rug | Handwoven wool rug (blue and purple) with totemic patterns This striking modern Boujad rug unfolds in broad bands of cobalt blue, purple, and soft blue-grey. Each band features three vertical columns of overlapping patterns — diamonds and figures reminiscent of totems — rendered in powder pink, mint green, and plum, all highlighted by a bold black line. The patterns subtly vary from row to row — sometimes a rounded diamond, sometimes an elongated totem — giving the composition a rhythmic, almost narrative quality throughout the piece. Hand-knotted with dense, fluffy wool by Berber women from the Boujad region (Morocco), this rug embodies the intuitive and symbolic approach of this tradition in a rich palette of gemstone tones. Soft ivory fringes finish both ends, a traditional detail that grounds the expressive design of the piece in the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship. With its nuanced colour bands and repetitive totemic patterns, this modern Boujad rug brings a bold and artistic presence to interiors that favour rich colours, symbolism, and the authentic character of handmade work. Authentic and handmade Boujad craftsmanship Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Boujad weaving techniques: Berber women work freehand on the loom, building the dense wool pile row by row and drawing from a personal repertoire — largely improvised — of figures and symbols. It is this intuitive process that gives the piece its varied totemic forms, evoking a hand-drawn design; no column is repeated exactly, although they echo throughout the rug.
