This rug has a great balance of deeper tones and pops of colour. As a base, bold colour blocks are overlapped with thin flowing lines, that look almost as if they have been hand drawn. Azilal rugs are known for their looser weave giving them a rawness that you just don't get with rugs from other regions (I'm looking at you Turkish and Persian rugs). Contemporary vibe right here!

WHAT IS AN AZILAL RUG?
So what is an Azilal rug, I hear you say. Azilal rugs are a type of Moroccan rug that come from the Azilal region in the heart of the Atlas mountains - about 180km from Marrakech. (It’s actually where my partner grew up). Characterised by a riot of colour and vibrant free-form patterns, Azilal Moroccan rugs in Australia are a contemporary expression of creativity.
Using ancient symbols and storytelling traditions, these rug art pieces are one-of-a-kind, reflecting the weaver's own story. What makes Azilal rugs so special is the whimsical artistic design of these colourful hand woven carpets. The talented women behind these hand-knotted authentic Moroccan rugs use intricate patterns, symbols and images to represent their story. Moroccan Azilal rugs are like abstract paintings, so if you’re looking to add bold, vibrant statement piece to your interior decor - We recommend an original Azilal rug from Moroccan Miracles.
