Wall Art Pink Beni Ourain Moroccan Wool Rug

$99.00

Hung on the wall or laid on the floor, this piece works as wall art and as a handmade pink Beni Ourain rug, a dusty-rose Moroccan wool carpet crossed by a grid of paired blocks in forest green and undyed cream. It draws on the Beni Ourain weaving tradition of the Middle Atlas, and every carpet is knotted entirely by hand by Amazigh (Berber) artisans of the El Abbassi family in their workshops in Morocco's Rabat-Salé region. The graphic block pattern is what makes it double so easily as a textile hanging: soft and plush from underfoot, bold and almost mid-century-abstract when you view it head-on. The dusty-rose ground reads as a warm neutral, while the green-and-cream blocks march across the field and give the eye a clear rhythm to follow. Because each block is knotted by memory rather than a stencil, the spacing carries small, human variations that mark it as authentic Berber craftsmanship. It is made from 100% natural sheep's wool, sheared from live, healthy sheep for maximum softness and durability, and worked in a medium-to-high hand-knotted weave with a plush, cosy medium pile. The dyes are organic, drawn from local plants and spices, so the rose and green stay gentle and grounded. Natural lanolin in the wool resists stains and keeps the colors true, and the ends are finished with a hand-knotted ivory tassel fringe. As a statement on the wall it turns a blank space into a focal point above a bed, a sofa or a stairwell; on the floor it is equally at home under a neutral linen or wood-toned sofa as a living-room accent, at the foot of the bed, or in a studio, home office or entryway. It suits modern, boho, eclectic and maximalist rooms that can carry a little color. Shown at roughly 8x10 feet, it can be commissioned in the exact size your space needs. Care is simple: vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate occasionally, and blot spills immediately with a damp cloth, with a professional clean for the deeper refreshes. Shipping is free worldwide on every order, fully tracked, with no minimum and nothing added at checkout.

Every rug is made by hand in the El Abbassi family workshops in Morocco's Rabat-Salé region. See how our rugs are made
