SOUK in the CITY
Boujad Rug – BAYA | 145 × 125 cm
Handwoven from sheep's wool, incorporating repurposed, previously dyed yarns. This gives the rug its wonderfully rich colour palette, subtle variations and unique character.
A little piece of Moroccan textile art. Meet BAYA!
So many colours, so many little details. And somehow, they all work beautifully together.
BAYA is a wonderfully expressive Moroccan Boujad rug, with an almost abstract composition of geometric symbols, irregular shapes and playful colour combinations.
Her soft cream background brings together vibrant orange, cobalt blue, turquoise, mint green, pink, earthy brown and touches of black. Some motifs are clearly defined, while others seem to blend into one another.
And then there's that gorgeous chunky wool texture. Full of character, beautifully imperfect and unmistakably handmade.
One of those rugs you can keep looking at and still discover something new.

A LITTLE ABOUT BOUJAD RUGS
Boujad rugs come from central Morocco, where Amazigh weaving traditions have produced some of the most wonderfully colourful and expressive carpets.
Unlike more symmetrical, traditional rug designs, Boujads often combine unexpected colours, irregular patterns and playful compositions.
BAYA is a lovely example of that freedom.
Her design almost feels like an abstract painting, with each little section bringing something different to the overall composition.
FOUND IN MARRAKECH
BAYA was part of our October 2026 Marrakech selection, personally handpicked for SOUK in the CITY.
We have a particular soft spot for these smaller Boujad rugs. They're full of personality, easy to move around and can make such a difference to a room.
And BAYA? She immediately caught our attention with her unusual mix of colours and beautifully busy design.
SMALL RUG, BIG PERSONALITY
At approximately 145 × 125 cm, BAYA works beautifully beside a bed, in a cosy reading corner, next to a favourite armchair or as a colourful accent in a living room.
We can also absolutely imagine her hanging on a wall as a tapis tableau — a little piece of Moroccan textile art.
Her creamy background makes all those stronger colours surprisingly easy to combine with wood, natural materials and colourful interiors.
THE BEAUTY OF HANDMADE
Every Boujad rug is individually handmade. Small irregularities in shape, texture and design are part of its charm.
Measurements may vary slightly, and colours can appear different depending on your screen and lighting.
One of a kind. Full of colour, texture and character. That's BAYA!
