A little bit of colour. A little bit of chaos. And a whole lot of fluffy wool.

Meet JAZZ, one of our colourful new arrivals from the OURIKA BRIGHT collection.

With her thick, natural cream wool and playful mix of bright colours, JAZZ has that lovely combination of softness and personality we keep falling for.

Three large, multicoloured diamonds run down the centre, surrounded by smaller scattered motifs and slightly wandering lines in turquoise, hot pink, green, orange, blue and warm brown.

And those little details along the woven borders? We love them just as much.

What makes JAZZ particularly charming is how wonderfully irregular everything is. The diamonds aren't perfectly symmetrical, the lines don't always go exactly where you'd expect them to, and the wool has that beautiful, chunky texture that makes you want to take off your shoes.

No factory-perfect patterns here, thank you very much.

From the Ourika mountains to our Belgian souk

JAZZ belongs to a collection we discovered through our dear Ahmed, who introduced us to a rug supplier from the Ourika mountains.

And this is where the sourcing story gets particularly fun.

Our supplier comes down from the mountains with a new load of rugs, usually arriving in Marrakech late in the evening, once the criée has finished and the souk is almost completely closed.

The crowds are gone, most shops have shut their doors, and that's when the rugs come out.

One after another, they're unrolled across the floor for us to look through.

And choosing just a few? Well, we're still working on that particular skill.

We've even been invited to visit the village ourselves next time we're in Morocco. Something we're already looking forward to.

A happy spot for JAZZ

At approximately 100 × 150 cm, JAZZ is a lovely size for all those spaces where a larger rug would be too much.

Imagine her beside a bed, in a child's bedroom, underneath a small vintage armchair or brightening up a corner of your living room.

Her natural cream background keeps things light, while those colourful details make her a perfect companion for wooden furniture, vintage finds and interiors that don't take themselves too seriously.

She also works beautifully in a mostly white interior that could use a little colour without going completely overboard.

Soft, colourful, a little imperfect. Just how we like it.

GOOD TO KNOW

JAZZ is individually handmade, and that's exactly what gives her character.

Slight irregularities in shape, weaving, pattern and pile height are perfectly normal. The edges may not be entirely straight, and the motifs have those lovely little variations that come with traditional handweaving.

Dimensions are approximate.

For everyday care, vacuum gently without a rotating brush. Professional rug cleaning is recommended when needed.

We recommend using a non-slip underlay on smooth floors.

Personally selected in Marrakech during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
