Zanafi Tribe (Kilim)

Zanafi Carpets: Elegance in the Service of Tradition

Zanafi rugs, originating from the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco, are jewels of Berber craftsmanship, known for their understated elegance and unique style. These hand-woven rugs embody the craftsmanship and traditions of the Zanafi tribe, renowned for their distinctive wool creations. Versatile and refined, they bring a traditional yet contemporary touch to any interior design.

Unique Weave, Remarkable Result

Unlike the knotted rugs found in other regions of Morocco, Zanafi rugs are often flat-woven, giving them a finer, lighter texture. This weaving technique, which requires great precision, results in intricate geometric patterns, usually aligned in horizontal bands. By playing on the contrast between the wool's natural colors, such as off-white and black, Zanafi artisans create designs that are as captivating as they are timeless.

Traditional Motifs and Symbols

Zanafi rug patterns reflect the cultural heritage and beliefs of the tribe. They often include simple geometric shapes such as diamonds, lines, and chevrons, which evoke elements of nature or protective symbols. This aesthetic minimalism, combined with elegant symmetry, allows Zanafi rugs to stand out with their modern yet authentic appearance.

Natural and Subtle Colors

The color palette of Zanafi rugs remains true to their rural origins and respect for natural materials. The dominant colors are derived from raw wool, ranging from off-white to deep black, with occasional touches of gray or brown. The absence of bright colors makes this piece easy to integrate into contemporary, Scandinavian, or minimalist interiors, bringing a clean and timeless charm.

A Decorative Accent for Any Interior

Zanafi rugs adapt to any decor style thanks to their understated yet elegant character. Whether placed under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed, or even hung on the wall as a piece of art, a Zanafi rug will enhance the ambiance of your space with its sophisticated simplicity. Its flat weave makes it a durable piece, ideal for high-traffic areas or busy living rooms.
