Mountains and Rivers – Beni Mrirt Topography in Wool & Clay
Mountains and Rivers – Beni Mrirt Topography in Wool & Clay
Woven in the heart of the Central Middle Atlas, the Mountains and Rivers rug is a sculptural landscape in earth-toned wool. This Beni Mrirt piece echoes the topographic memory of Morocco’s terrain, where mountain silhouettes meet river valleys in rhythmic harmony.
The bold terracotta motifs—rendered in thick, luxurious pile—are interspersed with ivory channels, mimicking water pathways and peaks. This rug’s visual power lies in its quiet strength: it is not decorative, but declarative—an embodiment of land, elevation, and movement captured in weave.
