Inspired by the soft texture and high-pile comfort characteristic of the Beni Ourain style, this rug is truly unique.

I. Artisanal Heritage & Construction

This is an authentic piece of tribal history, crafted by Berber (Amazigh) women using ancestral knotting techniques that transform simple, natural materials into rich, textured floor coverings.

• Origin: Middle/High Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

• Style: Beni Ourain Style (High-Pile Berber construction with a structured, geometric pattern).

• Material: 100% Premium Natural Sheep’s Wool pile. The high-quality indigenous wool is left un-dyed in the main field, giving the rug its unique, plush softness, excellent durability, and natural resilience.

• Weave: Hand-Knotted construction with a High, Plush Cut-Pile. This results in a substantial, resilient rug that offers superior underfoot comfort, feeling like a dense, cloud-like foundation.

II. Design & Symbolism

The Medina Block stands out for its graphic composition, offering a striking, organized design alternative to traditional abstract patterns.

• Color Palette: A balanced, high-contrast mix:

  • Field Color: A luminous Natural Ivory/Cream tone, providing a clean canvas.

  • Accent Colors: Defined blocks of Deep Forest Green are highlighted by crisp borders of Black and framing stripes of warm Brown/Caramel.

• Pattern: Structured Geometric Grid. The design features a meticulous layout of prominent squares and rectangles, creating a bold, architectural symmetry.

  • Aesthetic: The combination of precise lines and rich color blocks gives the rug an unmistakable Mid-Century Modern or Contemporary art feel, while retaining the deep pile authenticity of Berber weaving.

III. Styling & Placement

The Medina Block rug is designed to be the central statement piece, lending warmth and structure to any interior.

• Aesthetic Fit: Complements a wide range of interior styles, including Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Eclectic, and Scandinavian spaces where defined structure and color are desired.

• Comfort: The thick, plush wool pile makes it the ultimate choice for high-comfort areas like living rooms and master bedrooms.

• Investment: Being hand-knotted from premium wool, this rug possesses a timeless quality and is built to be an heirloom, lasting for generations with proper care.
