Vintage Tuareg Mats are true artisan 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 themselves from the heat and dust of the desert, these mats were handcrafted by Tuareg masters with 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 any environment, be it a study, a living room or a veranda, combining tradition and modernity.
Materials and Design of Tuareg Mats
Tuareg mats are handcrafted with natural materials such as desert oasis rush, palm fiber and leather that makes them resistant and easy to work. The leather strips used to weave the rush make them rollable and easily transportable. Featuring geometric patterns, such as diamonds and crosses, and natural colors, each mat reflects the spirituality and culture of the Tuareg. See less
