This rug was handwoven by artisans in Oued Zem.

Oued Zem is nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains just north of the village of Boujad, the namesake of this weaving style.

Boujad rugs tend to have undyed sheep’s wool for its base and vibrant colors used for the design elements.

The design motifs most commonly used in Boujad rugs tend to represent geometric shapes, abstract forms and at times symbols that have been passed down through generations.

The weave is less dense than the Beni M'rirt or Beni Ourain rug as there is more space between knots. Despite the difference in density, it’s still just as cozy and soft.

Rug Style

Boujad

Boujad rugs originate from the Al Haouz region of Morocco and are celebrated for their distinctive and vibrant aesthetic. These rugs often showcase a myriad of bold colors. One of the defining features of Boujad rugs is their use of geometric shapes, abstract forms, and symbolic motifs passed down through generations, each telling a story of the weaver's cultural heritage and artistic expression. The weaving technique results in a less dense pile compared to other Moroccan rugs, giving them a distinct texture.
