A little colour chaos. And quite a lot of character.

Some Boucherouite rugs have big, bold patterns. Others are all about abstract shapes and unexpected colour combinations.

And then there's KALEIDO.

This wonderfully colourful vintage Boucherouite runner is made up of hundreds of small, irregular geometric shapes, almost like a mosaic of recycled textiles.

Look closely and you'll discover an incredible mix of colours: deep cobalt blue, turquoise, olive green, chocolate brown, rusty orange, soft pink, cream, mustard yellow and little touches of bright red.

Quite a combination, we know. But somehow, it all works together.

A LITTLE PIECE OF THE MARRAKECH CRIÉE

KALEIDO was personally discovered and selected during our October 2026 sourcing trip to Marrakech.

We found it among the many vintage rugs at the criée, Marrakech's traditional carpet market, where searching through piles of old textiles is still one of our favourite parts of the sourcing process.

What caught our attention was the unusual rhythm of its pattern.

The small geometric shapes seem to repeat themselves, yet no two sections are exactly alike. Colours change, shapes shift and the arrangement becomes more playful the longer you look at it.

It's almost impossible to decide which part we like best.

ALL ABOUT COLOUR, RHYTHM & TEXTURE

Like traditional Boucherouite rugs, KALEIDO was handmade using repurposed textile materials.

Different strips and pieces of fabric create a wonderfully tactile surface, with variations in texture, thickness and pile height.

Some sections are tightly worked, while others are looser and more textured. The irregular edges and handmade fringes add to its original character.

Despite its many colours, the overall effect is surprisingly balanced. The darker blues, browns and greens bring everything together, while the brighter shades give the rug its playful personality.

We particularly like KALEIDO as a runner in a hallway, an entrance or a dressing room. But it could work just as beautifully beside a bed or in a more minimal interior where one colourful piece is allowed to steal the show.

No need to coordinate every colour in the room. Quite the opposite, actually.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Professional rug cleaning recommended.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, preferably on a low setting. Avoid pulling on loose textile fibres and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.

As KALEIDO is made from repurposed textiles of different compositions, machine washing is not recommended.

A non-slip rug underlay is advised, especially on smooth floors.

VINTAGE & HANDMADE CHARACTER

KALEIDO is an original, one-of-a-kind Moroccan Boucherouite rug.

Slight variations in shape, colour, weave, pile height and texture, as well as small imperfections or signs of previous use, are part of its vintage character.

These are not defects to be corrected, but details that belong to the original handmade textile.

One rug. Hundreds of little colour combinations. And absolutely no intention of being boring.
