What is a Moroccan Beni Ouarain rug?
The Moroccan Beni Ouarain rug stands out for the quality and density of its wool. It is an iconic and timeless Berber rug, handwoven by Moroccan women using ancestral know-how passed down from mothers to daughters. The Beni Ouarain rug uses pure virgin sheep wool (taken from a living sheep) for weaving. The wool comes from a rustic Berber sheep breed called "Marmoucha." The patterns of the Beni Ouarain Berber rug are easily recognizable, very graphic and clean: symmetric diamonds, dots, or more ethnic asymmetrical motifs. Berber weavers unleash their creativity for a unique result. Whether you are looking for a diamond Berber rug or a modern Berber rug, you will find what you are looking for at THEM. The Beni Ouarain weavers take pride in their art, and exporting their rugs allows them to showcase their craftsmanship and their country's customs.
Exploring the history of the Beni Ouarain tribes
The semi-nomadic tribes of Beni Ouarain have gained popularity worldwide thanks to the quality of their traditional Berber rugs, typically white with geometric shapes. Beni Ouarain is a confederation that includes 17 Berber tribes: AhlTaida, Beni Abd el Hamid, Beni Jelidassen, Ait Ighezrane, Beni Zeggoute, Tahala, Beni Bou Zart, Zerarda, etc. They are all inhabitants of the mountains south of the Moroccan Rif, northeast of the Middle Atlas. The origin of Beni Ouarain rugs can be traced back to the 9th century when Berber tribes arrived from southern Tunisia or northern Mauritania. They spent the summer with their herds of goats and sheep at over 2,000 meters altitude in the mountains before descending with the first snow. This allowed the animals to feed on rich and abundant food, resulting in high-quality wool. This wool was then used to make rugs.
An Invitation to Softness
The Beni Ouarain rug from Morocco is as soft as it is bright. Enjoy a pleasant touch thanks to the quality of the wool. This black and white Berber rug has a thickness of about 2.5 cm. This medium thickness is recommended and preferred by our customers. Thicker rugs would be less easy to maintain, while thinner ones would lose aesthetic appeal. It will tastefully decorate your walls or floors. In a living room, bedroom, or hallway, it adds roundness, softness, and a lot of comfort. This oriental rug is a choice decorative element. The Beni Ouarain Berber rug is part of a pure Moroccan tradition. It brings authenticity to your interior with its artisanal and 100% natural design. At THEM, we also offer to customize custom Berber rugs based on the dimensions, patterns, and colors you desire. In fact, we work closely with over 300 Berber weavers and can process your request to start creating a 100% personalized Beni Ouarain rug!
The Beni Ouarain Rug, a True Work of Art
Small Berber rug or even polka dot Berber rugs: Béni Ouarain rugs are of stunning beauty. We go directly to the local tribes to purchase the rugs to ensure their quality and authenticity, but also to support the local economy and eliminate intermediaries. Berber women create true works of art with these rugs, which they weave from their own experiences. Among the main symbols used are nature, love, birth, motherhood, faith, and femininity. Each rug is unique and reflects the weaver's journey. According to the beliefs of the tribes, a Béni Ouarain rug can provide protection against external threats, with the weaving of elements that bring luck, happiness, and prosperity. Whether you choose a small Berber rug or a very large Berber rug, it will bring soul and character to your interior. Brown Berber rug, terracotta Berber rug or multicolored Berber rug: there is something for every taste!
Berber rugs, a source of inspiration for your interior decoration
Beni Ouarain rugs are recognizable for their abstract artistic style, representative of their purity. These are models that can adapt to all places, all decorations, and living spaces. Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Paul Klee, and Mondrian drew inspiration from the patterns of these rugs in their art. Henri Matisse himself integrated these rugs into his decoration and nicknamed them "The White Giants." As the tents and houses of the Béni Ouarain tribes have a rectangular shape with long and narrow rooms, Béni Ouarain rugs are traditionally longer than they are wide. These models are usually 4 meters long by 2 meters wide, but we also offer other dimensions adapted to contemporary Western spaces (for example, a 3x2 or 2.5x1.5m rug). On our online store THEM, you will find many other high-quality rugs: Azilal rugs, Boucherouite rugs, Boujad rugs or Kilim rugs.
The Beni Ouarain rug, a decoration chameleon
The white Berber rug is ideal for a bohemian chic decoration, with its light colors and natural materials. It comes from an ancient art but also reveals itself as modern and design. With its patterns, it invites conviviality and serenity. A shaggy Beni Ouarain rug creates a cozy atmosphere, while a yellow Berber rug adds a touch of color and brightens up the room. On our online store, you will find many Berber rugs sold at a fair price. We prioritize sourcing that respects the craftsmanship of the tribes and is fair. Let yourself be seduced by its feel, the beauty of its patterns, and the power of its history. This rug is not just a decorative element: it is a witness to an ancient art that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Atlas Mountains. Made of pure sheep wool, the Beni Ouarain rug is an authentic and human work of art.
