Vintage Tuareg Mats are true handcrafted masterpieces made by the nomadic populations of the Sahara desert, with a tradition that dates back thousands of years. Originally used as flooring and furniture to protect against the heat and dust of the desert, these mats were handcrafted by Tuaregh masters from natural materials such as palm wood and animal skin. Even today, Tuareg mats retain their cultural and artisanal value, bringing a touch of history and authenticity to every environment be it a study, a living room or a veranda, combining tradition and modernity.
Materials and Design of Tuareg Mats
Tuareg mats are handmade with natural materials such as rush from desert oases, palm fiber and leather which makes them resistant and easily workable. The leather strips used to weave the rush make them rollable and easily transportable. Featuring geometric patterns, such as lozenges and crosses, and natural colors, each mat reflects the spirituality and culture of the Tuareg.
Versatility and Timeless Elegance
Perfect for modern or traditional environments, Saharan Tuareg Mats are ideal for decorating indoor and outdoor environments such as living rooms, offices, terraces or covered gardens. Their minimalist beauty and versatility make them a perfect complement for those looking for a designer rug that combines refined aesthetics and history. Each mat brings with it a rich artisan tradition, making it one of a kind.
A Touch of History for Your Space
