A multifaceted carpet with history
The Berber carpets, once produced by the nomadic peoples of North Africa, have experienced an unstoppable rise in popularity for many decades. Whether in the world of architecture, the interior scene or the international art scene, the symmetry-free motifs of Berber carpets provide a seemingly never-ending source of inspiration everywhere.
wool carpets served the wandering nomads as a warming surface and as shelter for their tents. 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 symbols in a Berber carpet have been used for many a myth. They are said to have magical powers. And if you ever find yourself a guest of a Berber family in Africa, sit down on the carpet and listen to the stories told to you by the family elder. Or you can decorate your own home with a Marouk MK45 and make it the center of your own stories.
Magic in quality and design
The center of the African carpet industry is now called Morocco. Carpets are produced there for the world market. The qualities can vary greatly, which is mainly due to the raw material 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 skin” to withstand the extreme weather conditions. The wool contains a lot of fat and this fat content remains throughout the entire production process. This is what makes the carpets so high-quality, easy to care for and long-lasting. Even after years of use, the Marouk MK45 retains its protective self-cleaning function.
Soft feel and varied look
Thanks to the high quality of wool, the carpets in our Marouk Collection a very soft feel. The knotting with around 93,000 knots per square meter ensures a pleasantly soft hand feel despite the undoubted robustness. The gray basic pile of the Marouk MK45 is made up of countless gray shades, which gives the multicolored pattern additional nuances.
The abrashes (natural color gradients) created by mixing the hand-spun wool reinforce the special expressiveness of this carpet. The diamond patterns combined with black contrast with the gray basic tone and bring liveliness and tension to the asymmetrical pattern.
