Mrirt rug 2.70 x 2.45 m in 100% pure wool, chemically untreated. Hand-woven by Berber craftswomen from the Middle Atlas. Geometric patterns on a terracotta, grey, and ivory background. Dense and silky texture, characteristic of traditional Berber weaving. Each Mrirt rug is a unique piece: natural variation in relief and knot density, guaranteeing the authenticity of this handmade Berber rug.
The Mrirt is distinguished by its pronounced relief, a result of dense knotting and deliberate weaving irregularity. This technique, rooted in the Berber tradition of the Middle Atlas, is based on know-how passed down from generation to generation. No two Mrirt rugs are identical: each craftswoman's hand leaves its mark on the fabric.

Use of the Mrirt rug: pronounced relief, acoustic comfort, and thermal insulation
In practical terms, underfoot, the Mrirt's pronounced relief absorbs noise and insulates against the cold of tiles or polished concrete. The thick wool provides genuine softness while remaining robust in the long term. On light parquet, the terracotta contrast plays well with the natural shades of the wood.
To be placed in living areas. Avoid in kitchens or bathrooms: the density of the weave makes it sensitive to excessive humidity.
Maintenance of the Mrirt rug: dense wool, accessible maintenance
Vacuum regularly, without a rotating brush. For small stains, a damp cloth with soapy water is sufficient. Professional cleaning is recommended every 2 to 3 years depending on use. Avoid if you are looking for a machine-washable rug: washing machines, tumble dryers, and aggressive products are to be excluded.

The difference with a Beni Ouarain or a Zanafi
The difference with a Beni Ouarain is the relief: the Mrirt has a more pronounced surface, with a higher knot density. It is this irregularity that also explains its better acoustic performance. The Zanafi, on the other hand, focuses more on graphics and solid colors. The Mrirt plays on texture, volume, and visual depth.
What we like about this model: it is durable, it absorbs noise, and the terracotta color avoids decorative impasses. You never regret a large rug.
