Meet TAM TAM — small in size, big on rhythm.

I found this one at the criée berbère in Marrakech and loved how many different patterns seem to come together in one small rug.

TAM TAM mixes warm burgundy, burnt orange, cream, charcoal and brown with unexpected touches of mint, turquoise, pink and green. Bold chevrons run across one end, while the rest of the rug shifts into blocks, diamonds, crosses and wonderfully irregular little details.

There’s no perfect repetition here. Some shapes line up, others don’t. Colours appear, disappear and suddenly return somewhere else — giving the whole piece that spontaneous, almost patchwork-like character that makes Boujad rugs so much fun.

Hand-knotted in wool, TAM TAM has a wonderfully tactile pile, with plenty of texture and visible handmade character.

At 158 × 98 cm, it’s an incredibly easy size to use: beside a bed, in an entrance hall, in front of a cabinet or anywhere that could use a little colour and character.

A small rug with a lot going on — in the best possible way.

ORIGIN & SOURCING

Personally sourced by Joëlle for SOUK in the CITY at the criée berbère in Marrakech.
TAM TAM was selected one by one for its wonderfully graphic composition, rich colour palette and playful mix of patterns.

CARE

Regularly shake out or gently vacuum using low suction and without a rotating brush.
Rotate occasionally for even wear and air outside from time to time to keep the wool fresh.
For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
