An ivory network divides vivid turquoise into irregular rounded shapes in this 200 × 200 cm Beni Mrirt wool rug. The square format gives the pattern room to spread in every direction, while changes in pile direction bring movement to the blue surface.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this wool pile rug is catalogued under Beni Mrirt, associated with the Aït Sgougou weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. Cream knotted tassels finish two opposite edges. A narrow turquoise-and-ivory striped band is visible along the near end.

Design Vocabulary

Uneven ivory outlines connect across the field, enclosing turquoise compartments of varying sizes. Rounded polygons gather into a loose mosaic, with smaller shapes interspersed among broader forms. The striped end band introduces a compact geometric rhythm beneath the flowing pattern.
