Boujad Geometric Wool Rug – A Moroccan Masterpiece
Step into a world where tradition meets modern allure with the Boujad geometric wool rug. Handcrafted by skilled Berber women of the Boujad tribe in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco, this rug is more than a decorative accessory. It is a living artwork that embodies centuries of cultural heritage, intricate craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.
The Legacy of Boujad Weaving
Boujad rugs originate from Beni Mellal-Khenifra, a region known for its bold artistry and striking color palettes. Traditionally woven by Berber women, these rugs carry personal and tribal stories expressed through geometric shapes and abstract motifs.
Each rug is one-of-a-kind, with no two designs ever exactly alike. This makes every Boujad rug a unique cultural artifact, imbued with symbolism of fertility, family, protection, and spirituality.
Intricate Design and Abstract Geometry
The geometric patterns woven into this Boujad rug are far more than decoration. They represent a visual language that has been passed down through generations. Bold lines, diamonds, and abstract motifs tell symbolic stories that reflect Berber identity.
The calm orange hue enriches its abstract design, adding a soft vibrancy to your space. This balance of color and geometry makes the rug an adaptable centerpiece, blending seamlessly with contemporary, bohemian, or minimalist interiors.
The Comfort of Premium Wool
Woven from high-quality sheep wool, this rug offers both durability and softness. Its medium pile creates a plush underfoot experience that enhances comfort in any room.
Wool is naturally hypoallergenic, flame-resistant, and easy to maintain, making it not only beautiful but also practical. With proper care, your rug will last for decades, becoming a cherished heirloom in your home.
A Vintage Essence in Modern Interiors
This Boujad wool rug carries a vintage charm that brings history and personality into any space. Its medium size allows it to adapt effortlessly, whether placed in a living room, bedroom, or creative workspace.
In a modern setting, the rug softens clean lines and cold materials, creating warmth and intimacy. In eclectic or bohemian interiors, it enhances character and authenticity, anchoring the room with cultural depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
