Moroccan pouf

The Story of the Pouf

This vibrant and soulful Moroccan pouf carries with it the spirit of the Atlas Mountains and the centuries-old traditions of Amazigh (Berber) artisans. Handcrafted from repurposed vintage rug fragments, it transforms the artistry of Moroccan weaving into a functional, beautiful piece for the modern home Every thread in this pouf once belonged to a hand-knotted rug woven by women in rural Moroccan villages. These rugs were originally created to warm family homes during cold mountain winters, and each symbol woven into the fabric held personal meaning—blessings for protection, fertility, nature, and prosperity. When sections of these older rugs are carefully restored and given a second life as a pouf, the story continues in a new form This particular piece stands out with its rich palette of soft peach, warm beige, vivid pink, lush green, and deep black geometric motifs—a signature of traditional Boujad and Azilal weaving styles. These colors were often achieved using natural dyes derived from flowers, plants, and minerals, giving them a distinctive warmth and authenticity The texture of the pouf is thick, plush, and inviting, crafted from 100% handwoven wool, making it exceptionally durable yet comfortable. The unique imperfections in the weave—the slight variations in pattern and tone—are what make it priceless, as no two handmade Moroccan poufs are ever identical.
