How it is made
This Kharita (which translates as "map") is a spectacular Moroccan hanbel: a large, flat-woven wool kilim rug that stands out for its multicoloured pattern. Irregular segments follow one another across the field, like "parcels" of an imaginary geography. Rhombuses, triangles like mountains, rectangles like dwellings and fields, wavy lines like waterways, stripes and zigzags like paths and trails: they unite this abstract textile landscape, dotted with stylised natural motifs.
The palette is warm and rich. Beige, sand, burgundy, red, blue, light blue and green seem to stand out against a neutral beige background that frames everything.
Perfect for...
A rug for those who love statement pieces that can change the look of a room. In the living room, in front of the sofa, it becomes the focal point of the conversation area. In an open-plan space, it can clearly define and accompany the transition from the living room to the dining area. In a large bedroom, it can be laid at the foot of the bed, in the space between the bed and the wardrobe.
Its mix of colours makes it perfect for both contemporary homes with an eclectic taste and minimalist interiors that want an accent piece.
The detail not to be missed
Looking closely, you realise that it is not just a simple "patchwork-style rug with squares", but a true emotional map: each square is a micro-landscape. The slight irregularities in the edges, the changes in rhythm between one module and another, and the subtle differences in colour (abrash) reveal its exquisitely handcrafted nature.
