Awen – Beni Mrirt Rug
The Story
Symbols carved in softness.
Awen brings the essence of Berber storytelling into a modern, tactile composition. Its warm camel field is enriched with hand-carved charcoal motifs — flowing lines, abstract diamonds, and tribal marks that seem to move across the wool like a written code.
The depth of the carving creates shadows and highlights, giving the rug a sculptural dimension that shifts beautifully with natural light.
Hand-knotted by master artisans of the Beni Mrirt tribe in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, Awen is woven from 100% hand-spun virgin wool. The pile is exceptionally plush and velvety, offering both comfort and refined visual texture.
Framed with contrasting black edges and tassels, the rug balances tradition with contemporary elegance.
A piece of Berber heritage reimagined for modern interiors — warm, expressive, and unmistakably crafted by hand.

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.
