Timeless, elegant, and effortlessly chic, authentic Moroccan Beni Ourain rugs are a staple of sophisticated interior design. Hand-knotted by the Berber tribes of the Middle Atlas Mountains near Tahala and Ribat El Kheir, these iconic rugs are renowned for their luxurious softness, minimalist geometric patterns, and high-quality natural wool. Their neutral tones and clean designs make them a versatile addition to any home—whether modern, bohemian, Scandinavian, or traditional.
Authentic Materials & Craftsmanship
Our Beni Ourain rugs are woven from 100% natural, undyed sheep’s wool, prized for its plush texture and durability. Each rug is created with care, featuring classic patterns—usually black or brown geometric lines on an ivory or cream background. These symbolic motifs carry deep cultural meaning, often representing daily life, protection, fertility, or nature. Owning a Moroccan Beni Ourain rug means bringing artistry, tradition, and history into your living space.
Handwoven Tradition from Morocco
Every Beni Ourain rug is handwoven using ancestral techniques passed down through generations of Berber women in villages around Mount Bouyablane. Each piece can take weeks or even months to complete, as artisans meticulously knot each strand of wool. These rugs were originally used as bedding and floor coverings in traditional Berber homes—making them not only decorative but deeply functional and rooted in Moroccan culture.
Iconic Design for Every Interior
Known for their minimalist diamond patterns and neutral palettes, Beni Ourain rugs are adored by interior designers worldwide. Their timeless aesthetic makes them the perfect rug for Scandinavian interiors, modern lofts, bohemian spaces, or cozy bedrooms. Whether used as a statement piece in a living room or as a grounding accent in a minimalist home, a Moroccan Beni Ourain rug adds depth, warmth, and sophistication.
Luxurious Comfort Underfoot
Beni Ourain rugs are more than beautiful—they are made for everyday comfort. The plush wool pile feels soft and warm underfoot, perfect for barefoot living, lounging, or playing with children. Many describe them as a form of “everyday luxury” in the home. Their durability ensures they will age gracefully and remain a treasured piece for decades.
Cultural Heritage & Ethical Craft
Each rug is a one-of-a-kind creation, infused with the weaver’s personal story and Berber symbolism. At Labboho, we work directly with Moroccan artisans to ensure fair wages, ethical sourcing, and sustainable practices. By purchasing a Beni Ourain rug, you are not only acquiring a design classic—you are helping preserve Moroccan cultural heritage and supporting traditional craftsmanship.
