The Tuareg mat that we present brings together the characteristics that distinguish the furnishing of a Tuareg nomad tent and the rigor of contemporary design. To offer our furnishings a fascinating combination. The Tuareg Mat measures 482x216 cm, and despite being ancient, it is preserved in perfect condition. Made from rattan woven with leather. Its minimal design offers it a touch of discreet class. Its wonderful vintage flap comes from the few locally available vegetable colors
This mat is the pure reminder of a distant past that blends with contemporary furnishings.
For these qualities, Tuareg mats have recently entered the world of fashion, cinema and furniture with force.
Tuareg or Saharan mats in general are a highly refined piece of furniture, manufactured in the Sahara desert, generally in Mauritania. These mats were created by Tuareg women with the only local materials: sheep or dromedary leather cut very fine to allow the weaving with palm or rush wood, the colors were added further. These mats are characterized by minimal and decisive designs that embody meanings immersed in the dawn of time. The artistic expression engraved on the Tuareg mat is a symbol of the majesty and free spirit of these nomadic populations.
The Saharan mat allowed perfect insulation from the sand but at the same time was easy to handle to accompany the blue men of the desert on their continuous journeys. less
