The use of natural fibers

In Morocco, the weaving of baskets is an old artisan tradition, using natural fibers in the form of ribbon, notably the leaves of a dwarf palm of the Mediterranean perimeter, very common in Morocco as on the southern flanks of the High Atlas massif. It should be called false palm doum, the real doum palm, larger and branched, being native to tropical Africa.

Moroccan baskets are usually braided in palm around the Moroccan countryside, these palm leaves were widely used to make braided articles for domestic or agricultural use such as baskets, mats or baskets. Here you will find woven baskets in Marrakech according to the ancestral craft techniques of Morocco and colored with natural vegetable dyes.

Over time, Moroccan artisans have adopted new materials and offer a complete range of equipment for the home and garden. Beniouarain offers wicker or rattan ceilings, as well as sofas, armchairs, tables, or decorative tajine dishes and other original craftworks.
