Aksel – Beni Mrirt Rug
The Story
Geometry, held in warmth.
Aksel balances modern minimalism with the quiet soul of Berber craftsmanship. A soft ivory field is crossed by delicate, intersecting lines that draw the eye to a subtle geometric center — a composition that feels both intentional and instinctive. Around it, a warm terracotta border grounds the rug like a gentle frame, adding depth, contrast, and architectural clarity.
Hand-knotted by artisans of the Beni Mrirt tribe in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, Aksel is woven from 100% hand-spun virgin wool, offering a dense, velvety pile and a natural luminosity. Its refined geometry and warm tones make it an elegant anchor for contemporary spaces — serene, tactile, and beautifully balanced.
A piece of quiet structure — handcrafted, harmonious, and full of understated soul.

Since your rug is hand-crafted, there will be natural, beautiful variations in pattern and color. These are sure signs of an authentic rug made just for you. Final sizes and pile heights can vary by up to 5% from what is ordered.

Our rugs are made entirely by hand from 100% natural New Zealand wool, which means there will be natural (and beautiful) variations in pattern and color. While we do our best, final sizes can differ by 8%.

With the help of our dedicated team, you can choose between thousands of shades of colour, or we can match to a sample of anything you bring us. Designs can be fashioned into runners, ovals, circles, squares and more. We can even weave a rug to install as wall-to-wall carpeting.
Throughout the process we will show you renderings of the proposed design and how it might look, and may also make a small sample to check the new colours or materials. Weaving a rug to order typically takes two to three months, though very large or complex commissions may take longer. This wait, however, seems short when compared with the decades for which your custom piece will endure.
The weaving and wool quality of the modern Beni M’rirt carpets is excellent. They are hand woven according to traditional Berber weaving and they are incredibly dense and sumptuous.
Production time depends on the size of the rug. Starting from 8 to 12 weeks.
