This particular transitional design represents the emerging contemporary appeal of select tribal rugs in this period, like this preference of minimalist geometric pattern and forgiving, neutral beige-brown and cream tones departing from the more frenzied colors and classic patterns of Moroccan rugs. Dually, the gentle nature of this piece lends a natural complement to the lush wool pile height and its soft sheen, further complementing the soothing sense of movement and versatility this transitional Moroccan rug boasts in its interior potential. The one-sided fringes on the lower vertical border are a rare feature lending in equal parts to the visual appeal and collectibility of the piece, ultimately offering a subtle distinction from simplicity or monotony. A welcome addition to the wide-spanning Moroccan Collection from Rug & Kilim.

About the Collection: From the antique and vintage riches of the Berber weavers to the exciting newer loom productions, our Moroccan collection enjoys a diversity of wool and fabric pieces equal to our variations of colors and pile heights.

The vibrant, very distinguished and intricate beauty and colorway options of the classic tribal pieces have been very well received by a variety of projects and spaces, enjoying both minimalist beauty and more eclectic, culturally fascinating options with rich symbolism and history.

For a more modern appeal, the larger area-sized pieces in our contemporary Moroccan line enjoy bold variations of mixed pile height options complementing the very lush, inviting wool pile and the elegant contrast of cream white and black. The classically inspired field designs play beautifully off the reserved, sensible chic of these pieces and we’re excited to see the life they bring to projects. less
