A multifaceted carpet with a history
Berber carpets, once produced by the nomadic peoples of North Africa, have experienced an unstoppable surge in popularity for many decades. Whether in the world of architecture, interior design, or the international art scene, the asymmetrical motifs of Berber carpets provide a seemingly inexhaustible source of inspiration.
wool carpets served the nomadic tribes as a warming surface and as tent protection. They were made exclusively from sheep's wool, which is why Berber carpets are still predominantly known today as natural white carpets with subtle patterns.
The patterns, symbols, and designs in a Berber rug have been the subject of many a myth. They are said to possess magical powers. And if you ever find yourself visiting a Berber family in Africa, sit down on the rug and listen to the stories told by the family elder. Or decorate your own home with a Marouk MK45 and make it the centerpiece of your own stories.
Magic in quality and design
Today, Morocco is the center of the African carpet industry. Carpets are produced there for the global market. The quality can vary considerably, primarily due to the raw materials used. The Marouk MK45, like all Mischioff wool carpets, is made in Nepal from pure Tibetan highland wool.
High up in the Himalayas, the sheep literally need "thick fur" to withstand the extreme weather conditions. The wool is very oily, and this oil content is retained throughout the entire production process. This is what makes the carpets so high-quality, easy to care for, and durable. Even after years of use, the Marouk MK45 retains its protective self-cleaning properties.
Soft feel and varied appearance
Thanks to the high quality of the wool, the carpets in our Marouk Collection a very soft feel. The knotting, with approximately 93,000 knots per square meter, ensures a pleasantly soft touch despite the carpet's undeniable robustness. The gray base pile of the Marouk MK45 is composed of countless shades of gray, adding further nuances to the multicolored pattern.
The abrash (natural color variations) created by blending the hand-spun wool enhance the unique expressiveness of this rug. The diamond patterns combined with black contrast with the gray background, bringing vibrancy and visual interest to the asymmetrical design.
