Story Behind The Art: Rooted in the nomadic traditions of Morocco’s Berber tribes, Moroccan rugs were originally made to withstand the harsh, chilly climates of the Atlas Mountains. Thick and plush, they served as practical sleeping and bedding covers. In contrast to ornate oriental styles, these rugs feature tribal symbolism and primitive geometric patterns. Western interest surged in the 1930s when modernist architects like Le Corbusier and Charles and Ray Eames embraced them to soften minimalist spaces. Their understated charm and decorative versatility continue to inspire today’s designers. Contemporary Moroccan rugs are also produced in India and Pakistan.
