Moroccan Runner N11606 3'6" × 25'7" $9,800

In the mid-twentieth century Beni Ourain rugs have stolen the hearts of modernist designers and tastemakers alike. These treasures of the desert have seduced the western world with their upmost simplicity and directness, so different to the overabundant art of the past ages. The traditional-inspired runner before your eyes encompasses the marvelous features of Beni Ourains and the format adjusted to the need of contemporary consumers. It was masterly hand-woven in accordance with centuries-long techniques of the finest wool which ensures its longevity and durability. The main field, modeled on typical tribal rugs, bears stripes rendered in warm brown shade that from the top to the bottom of the rug gradually increase in size on the beige background. Although the pattern seems to be carelessly executed – it is a bit uneven and primitive – it is done absolutely on purpose. Nomadic tribes believe that nothing can be perfect except God so they deliberately don’t try too hard to keep the design straight and worked out in every detail. Nonetheless, this exactly is the factor that gives Moroccan tribal rugs their heartwarming appeal and a remarkable boho vibe. The runner will be just excellent for capacious interiors, large hallways or long staircases. It has a chance to brighten up any interior, classic or modern, with its Oriental charm.
