Story Behind the Art: Moroccan rugs emerged from the Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains, where thick-pile weavings served as bedding and protection against the cold climate. Unlike ornate Oriental rugs, Moroccan pieces embrace primitive symbols and bold, geometric patterns. Their popularity surged in the 1930s when modernist designers like Le Corbusier and Charles & Ray Eames used them to soften the lines of minimalist furniture. Today, their plush textures and restrained elegance continue to inspire designers worldwide, with India and Pakistan also producing Moroccan-style rugs.
