A little wild, wonderfully woolly and impossible to ignore.

Meet ZIGGY, another colourful character from our OURIKA BRIGHT collection.

With its thick, fluffy cream-coloured wool and wonderfully irregular geometric patterns, ZIGGY has that relaxed, slightly rebellious look we love in a Moroccan rug.

The star of the show is the large central diamond, bursting with shades of fuchsia pink, turquoise, cobalt blue, orange, green and purple. Smaller diamonds dance along either side, connected by playful, slightly wandering lines.

Nothing too symmetrical. Nothing too perfect. And that's exactly the point.

What makes ZIGGY particularly lovely is the contrast between the soft, chunky wool pile and the vivid, almost painterly colours. Some parts are densely textured, others a little looser, giving the entire rug a beautifully handmade appearance.

From the mountains to Marrakech

ZIGGY is part of a special collection we discovered through our dear Ahmed, who puts us in touch with a rug supplier from the Ourika mountains.

He arrives in Marrakech with his latest selection, usually late in the evening, when the criée is finished and the souk is almost empty.

And that's when our favourite kind of shopping begins.

Rugs are unrolled one after another, covering the floor in wool, patterns and colour. We carefully select our favourites, although we're admittedly rather bad at leaving beautiful pieces behind.

ZIGGY was definitely coming home with us.

And we're already looking forward to visiting the village ourselves on a future trip.

A little colour goes a long way

Despite its bright colours, ZIGGY is surprisingly easy to combine. The warm cream background keeps the design light, while the colourful diamonds bring personality into the room.

We can picture it underneath a low wooden coffee table, surrounded by books, plants, vintage furniture and a wonderfully mismatched collection of cushions.

Or in a bedroom that needs a little warmth and colour.

Its generous, almost square shape makes it particularly interesting for cosy seating areas, where the design can really be enjoyed.

For homes that prefer character over perfection.

GOOD TO KNOW

ZIGGY is an individually handmade rug, so slight irregularities in shape, pattern, pile height and finishing are completely normal.

In fact, they're part of what makes this piece so lovely.

Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly. Professional rug cleaning is recommended. For everyday care, vacuum gently without a rotating brush.

Personally selected in Marrakech during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
