Dark, angular lines wander across an ivory field in this 140 × 100 cm Beni Ourain rug. The compact composition balances open space with an irregular network of diagonals, crossings and elongated shapes.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this small pile rug belongs to the Beni Ourain weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. A narrow end band marked with dark stitches leads into cream tassels along the visible short edge.

Design Vocabulary

The lines shift direction and occasionally meet, creating an open, asymmetric pattern. Their uneven contours give the geometry a drawing-like quality, while the ivory ground keeps each movement clearly visible.
