Beni Ourain (pile)
Medium–high pile with hand-drawn diamonds—soft, sculptural comfort.
Quiet contrast. Lasting craft. Effortless style. A minimalist rug in black and white anchors a room with calm geometry and honest materials. Our collection brings together handwoven pieces from the Atlas Mountains—Beni Ourain diamonds, Zanafi kilims, and tailored plains—each selected for balanced pattern, soft hand, and real-world durability. The classic black and white Moroccan rug pairs a neutral ground with charcoal linework, creating structure without visual clutter. Prefer something even cleaner? Explore monochrome herringbones, broken stripes, and micro-grids that read as texture up close and as order at room scale. Every monochrome Berber rug we carry is artisan-made, photographed in natural light, and listed with exact size, pile, and condition notes—so you can choose with confidence.
Palette • Geometry • Material • Families & Pets
A restrained palette simplifies decisions and elevates everything around it. Black-and-white grounds highlight wood tones, architecture, and art; they scale across seasons without feeling dated. Monochrome Berber geometry brings rhythm without noise, making small rooms feel intentional and large rooms feel organized. Wool adds resilience, warmth, and low sheen—so your black and white Moroccan rug reads rich, not glossy. For families and pets, nuanced textures disguise day-to-day dust while keeping the look ultra clean.

Wool • Loom • Abrash • Repairs
High-grade sheep’s wool on traditional looms. Knotted pile or interlocked wefts for kilims—subtle irregularities confirm authenticity.

True monochrome Berber rugs offer repairable construction, deeper texture, and a palette that ages gracefully.
