Berber Treasure
As you gaze upon this vintage Moroccan rug from the first half of the 20th century, its captivating friskiness, charm, and class are undeniable. The intricate geometric design in pinks, blues, and browns on a natural-wool background seamlessly blends modernist flair with traditional tribal art. This stunning piece is exactly what you need to bring warmth and personality to your Moroccan-inspired outdoor space, also known as the ‘Moroccan Patio’.
The current trend of incorporating Oriental aesthetics into outdoor spaces is evident online. For those curious about the rug’s symbolism, it’s worth noting that the design is not just a collection of shapes, but rather a message waiting to be deciphered through an understanding of specific motifs.
The diamonds on the rug represent protection, while the two lines with arrowheads symbolize the tree of life.
The zigzags, meanwhile, evoke running water – a precious and scarce resource in the desert. Despite its impressive age, the Moroccan rug has survived in near-perfect condition, earning it a reputation for extraordinary quality.
While it’s irresistible to appreciate this piece without proper protection from harsh weather conditions like rain, the rug is sure to bring an air of elegance to any setting.
Indian Jewel
Pride of the North
In the frozen tundras of Scandinavia, where breathtaking landscapes and majestic views are abundant, some of the world’s most striking designs take shape. Fortunately, modern technology has granted us unparalleled access to these natural wonders. Today, we can seamlessly integrate their essence into our own backyards by incorporating them as patio rugs. The fusion is nothing short of magical.
For instance, the vintage Swedish flat-weave from The Fresh Exchange embodies the Scandinavian trifecta: simplicity, practicality, and taste. This double-sided masterpiece boasts a versatile color palette that effortlessly shifts between cool and warm tones, allowing you to enjoy its presence in your décor for twice as long as a conventional rug. Its game-changing impact on outdoor patio arrangements is undeniable.
Modern Boast
The pièce de résistance of outdoor-friendly rugs is a design collaboration between Marshall Watson and Doris Leslie Blau. This contemporary masterpiece boasts a soft acrylic fiber reminiscent of wool, making it equally at home indoors as it is on a patio. The intricate interwoven strands create a high-low overlay pattern that will cradle your feet after spending time outdoors.
Its minimalist aesthetic ensures seamless integration with any style, serving as an excellent space definer and comfort provider. What’s more, this modern rug possesses the resilience to withstand not only rain but even snow! While its lifespan may be shorter in extreme conditions, it remains the safest choice for creating a cozy ‘outdoor room’.
