Traditionally decorated with multiple monochrome patterns on a white or ecru background, today they are characterized by a multitude of ultra-colourful, sometimes even fluorescent patterns.
These rugs are a clever mix between tradition and modernity by combining contemporary colourful visuals using traditional weaving. Their design is authentic, mixing Berber symbolism, sometimes reinterpreted with contemporary colours, which makes it a trendy rug, while remaining faithful to traditional Berber art.
Azilal rugs have a less dense weave than other Berber rugs, like the Beni Ouarain, and can sometimes be woven with a cotton weft thread, which is found in particular in the fringes. These are rugs that are a little thinner and more flexible than the traditional Beni Ouarain, while still reflecting the excellence of Moroccan craftsmanship. See less
