Boucherouite Kilim Rug - 315 x 160 cm

Vintage Boucherouite Kilim rug woven flat from recycled textiles with striped geometric patterns This vintage Boucherouite Kilim rug in vibrant colours features a rhythmic composition of horizontal bands in deep purple, earthy brown, and warm beige, punctuated by intricate bands with diamond and zigzag geometric patterns. Each coloured band intertwines bright touches of blue, green, yellow, and red, creating a dynamic surface reminiscent of a tapestry that continuously evolves along the length of the piece. Handwoven in Morocco by Berber women from recycled textiles and fabric scraps, this flat-woven rug combines the graphic, non-pile structure of a traditional kilim with the creative and eco-friendly spirit of Boucherouite weaving. Unlike classic flat weaves made from wool, this piece stands out due to its eclectic and varied mix of reclaimed materials, giving the precise geometric bands an organic character and unique texture. The result is an authentic, sustainable Moroccan folk art piece that is absolutely one-of-a-kind. Its tapestry-like appearance, rich earthy tones, and bursts of vibrant colours (like gemstones) make this vintage rug a captivating centrepiece for interiors that prioritise colour play, sustainability, and the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship. Authentic craftsmanship: the handmade Boucherouite Kilim The result of an ingenious fusion of traditions, this piece employs the tight flat weaving technique of kilim while replacing conventional wool with materials from Boucherouite weaving (upcycling). Local artisans have handwoven recycled cotton, clothing scraps, and leftover threads to create this complex striped pattern.
