Berber Carpet Boujaad - 315 x 203 cm

Modern Boujad rug | Handwoven wool rug (yellow and pink) with diamond patterns This modern Boujad rug in vibrant colours features a field of warm butter yellow and soft powder pink. It is richly adorned with the characteristic abstract patterns of this tradition: interlocking diamonds, striped bands, triangles, and small figures in blue, coral red, black, teal, and lavender. Two large diamonds structure the composition from top to bottom, radiating outward in concentric bands of colour, while smaller symbols are scattered across the field in a free and spontaneous rhythm typical of Boujad weaving. Hand-knotted from soft, thick wool by Berber women from the Boujad region of Morocco, this rug perfectly illustrates the free approach to colour and symbol inherent in this tradition. It is framed with a solid indigo blue border and embellished with hand-knotted fringes at both ends. Each motif reflects an intuitive and spontaneous creation—expressive rather than symmetrical, personal rather than repetitive—giving Boujad weaving its unique character. With its rich bicolour field and layered folk art symbolism, this modern Boujad rug is a true collector's piece for interiors seeking a balance between colour, history, and authentic craftsmanship. Authentic and handmade Boujad craftsmanship Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Boujad techniques: Berber women work freehand on the loom, creating a dense layer of wool row by row, drawing from a personal and largely improvised repertoire of symbols and shapes. This is the hallmark of Boujad weaving: a break from the rigid geometric grids of other Berber traditions in favour of asymmetry, bold colour combinations, and an intuitive, almost pictorial approach to composition.
