Story & Description
Commissioned and handcrafted in the Sahara, Tenere created entirely to order — woven slowly, deliberately, and exclusively for its future owner.
Each mat is constructed from hand-selected desert reed, bound and structured with individually cut leather. This ancient Tuareg technique has been preserved for generations and produces a surface that is both architectural and deeply tactile.
Its composition reflects balance, restraint, and intention. Nothing is accidental. Every line exists in quiet harmony, echoing the vast stillness of the desert landscape where it is made.
Because each piece is woven by hand upon commission, subtle variations in tone and rhythm make every Tenere entirely unique.
Created over weeks — never rushed — and meant to last for decades.
This is not simply a rug.
It is a commissioned object of enduring craftsmanship.

Order Swatches
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.
