The Moroccan Béni Ouarain carpet is distinguished by the quality and density of its wool. It is an emblematic and timeless Berber carpet, handwoven by Moroccan women using ancestral know-how passed down from mothers to daughters. The Béni Ouarain carpet 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 Béni Ouarain Berber carpet are easily recognizable, very graphic and clean: symmetrical diamonds, dots, or more ethnic asymmetrical patterns. Berber weavers unleash their creativity for a unique result. Whether you are looking for a diamond Berber carpet or a modern Berber carpet, you will find what you are looking for at THEM.

The semi-nomadic Beni Ouarain tribes have gained worldwide popularity thanks to the quality of their traditional Berber carpets, traditionally 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 carpets 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 provided the animals with a rich and abundant food source, resulting in high-quality wool. This wool was then used to make carpets.
The Moroccan Beni Ouarain carpet is as soft as it is luminous. Enjoy a pleasant touch thanks to the quality of the wool. This black and white Berber carpet is about 2.5 cm thick.

Beni Ouarain carpets are recognizable by 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 carpets in their art. Henri Matisse himself integrated these carpets into his decoration and nicknamed them "The White Giants." As the tents and houses of the Beni Ouarain tribes have a rectangular shape with long and narrow rooms, Beni Ouarain carpets 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 Western contemporary spaces (for example, a 3x2 or 2.5x1.5m carpet). On our online store THEM, you will find many other high-quality carpets: Azilal carpets, Boucherouite carpets, Boujad carpets or Kilim carpets.
