Green Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, Tribal Enchantment Meets Abstract Expressionism
By Beni Mrirt, Mark Rothko, Berber Tribes of Morocco
Located in Dallas, TX
21037 Modern Green Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, 06'11 x 10'06. Beni Mrirt rugs epitomize a treasured tradition of Moroccan weaving, renowned for their luxurious texture, geometric designs, and soothing earth tones. Crafted by skilled artisans of the Beni Mrirt tribe nestled in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, these rugs embody a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship and artistic expertise. Utilizing premium wool sourced from local sheep, they boast remarkable durability and offer a comforting warmth underfoot. Renowned for their intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colors, Beni Mrirt rugs hold a revered place for their cultural significance and enduring appeal, making them highly coveted by discerning interior designers worldwide.

Within this captivating design, bold linear elements, such as two yellow V-shapes, intertwine with rich waves of abrash, adding depth and intrigue reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionist movement.
True to the ethos of Abstract Expressionism, this contemporary Moroccan rug draws inspiration from iconic artists such as Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Helen Frankenthaler. Their influence is evident in the rug's bold expressive design and vibrant color palette, which exude a sense of energy and vitality. Yet, amidst the boldness, there lies a sense of harmony and balance, as each element coalesces to form a cohesive and visually captivating whole. This plush Moroccan area rug embodies a fashion-forward approach, prioritizing comfort without compromising on style, making it an ideal centerpiece for any interior space.

Mid-Century Modern Furniture Finds: Shop Vintage and Antique Moroccan Rugs on 1stDibs
Antique and vintage Moroccan rugs serve as an exceptional piece of decor. Whether it’s to tie your bedroom together or to add a dazzling array of colors and graphically provocative shapes and other elements to your living room wall, there’s increased demand for all types of Moroccan tribal rugs, especially as bohemian, global and eco styles are on the rise and because tapestries and wall hangings are definitely cool again.
Travelers and interior design lovers from all over the world are big fans of the complex geometric patterns and bold color palettes that we typically associate with rustic, natural Moroccan and North African rugs.
In the West, the current infatuation with handwoven vintage Moroccan tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century. Then, designers such as Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier offset austere interiors with vibrant and alluring mid-century modern Moroccan rugs. (Le Corbusier integrated these rugs in his designs for Villa La Roche in Paris, while Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater in Pennsylvania is also home to distinctive Moroccan floor coverings.)
Moroccan rugs date back to the Paleolithic era, when Berber tribes, which comprised many different members of an ethnic group native to North Africa, would weave these textiles with intricate images and symbols. Traditionally, Moroccan tribal weavings were made exclusively by women and solely for personal use. Dense pile rugs served not only as floor coverings but as mattresses, seating and even blankets in the winter months.
The Moroccan rug hasn’t survived this long merely because of its usefulness. These stunning works take at least two to three weeks to weave, and each woman weaves the story of her life into the design. They are filled with symbolism and vary greatly depending on the locale where they were woven. In this way, part of the profound beauty of traditional Moroccan rugs lies in their historical and cultural significance.
One of the most widely loved styles of Moroccan rugs comes from the Beni Ourain tribes, a network of nearly two dozen individual tribes in the mountainous Middle Atlas region.
Vintage Beni Ourain rugs are woven from undyed, natural wool. The textures, imperfections and asymmetrical lines, which can’t be reproduced with mass production methods, as well as the neutral tones and understated geometry have endeared interior designers to these works for ages. In comparison to the spare Beni Ourain rugs, a more heavily decorated, widely colorful option can be found in Azilal Moroccan rugs, which contrast wonderfully with the rich, dark wood tones and clean lines that characterize mid-century modern furniture.
The collection of antique and vintage rugs and carpets on 1stDibs features a wide range of extraordinary Moroccan and North African rugs including Beni Ourain rugs, Azilal rugs, kilims and more.
