The magic of Beni Ouarain carpets

If the name Beni Ouarain does not tell you something, do not worry, you have almost certainly crossed paths with one of these amazing Moroccan carpets. Hand knotted, they are all special pieces, really beloved by the most well known decoration shops from all around the world (Scandinavians and Americans are crazy about them!). The old pieces, the 50s, are the object of the greatest craze on the part of purists, the Beni Ouarain has transformed into a great collector's item through time. The new carpets are just as amazing, because they are not attached to a specific ethnicity, and are better suited to our modern interiors.

The Beni Ouarain carpets are a confederation of seventeen Berber tribes living in the mountainous regions of the Middle Atlas. Traditionally, village women make these wool carpets for home use. The carpets are indeed used both as mattresses and as a blanket, and on feast days, they are used for the interior and exterior decoration of the home.
