Deeply rooted in the earth, ancestral, understated, powerful, graphic, and authentic, the Tuareg rug is the fruit and testament of many weeks of meticulous work by the women of the Sahara. This craft combines centuries-old expertise passed down through generations with patience and meticulous attention to detail.

Made from natural plant fibers (palm wood) and structured with leather straps, this rug features a simple, graphic composition punctuated by dark geometric patterns.

Its organic texture and sandy/brown palette make it a decorative piece particularly well-suited to contemporary, minimalist, or wabi-sabi interiors. Magnificent in these spaces, this rug adds true depth.

An object at the crossroads of nomadic craftsmanship and modernist design, this Tuareg rug functions equally well as a decorative wall hanging or as a floor covering.
