SOUK in the CITY
OURIKA BRIGHT Rug – ZAZOU | ca. 200 × 200 cm
A little crazy, wonderfully colourful and definitely not made for blending in.
Meet ZAZOU, one of the most extraordinary pieces from our new OURIKA BRIGHT collection.
And yes, we may have a slight weakness for this one.
A beautiful, almost square Moroccan wool rug, covered in an explosion of colourful geometric shapes. Bright pink, turquoise, emerald green, orange, yellow and deep blue meet softer shades of grey, chocolate brown and cream.
What makes ZAZOU particularly interesting is the texture. The colourful patterns are worked into a wonderfully thick, raised wool pile, while the edges feature a flatter weave with delicate embroidered Berber-inspired motifs. Even the fringes have their own little details.
The result? A rug that looks almost like a piece of abstract art.
Straight from the Ourika mountains
ZAZOU was part of a very special selection during our latest Marrakech sourcing trip.
Through our dear Ahmed, we have a wonderful contact who brings freshly made rugs down from the mountains, usually late in the evening when the criée is finished and the souk is almost deserted.
One by one, the rugs are opened up across the floor. We look, compare, discuss, select… and inevitably end up choosing far more than originally planned :)
ZAZOU was one of those pieces that immediately stood out.
A rug or a piece of art? Why choose?
With its generous square shape and graphic composition, ZAZOU works beautifully as a statement rug in a living room, underneath a coffee table or in a colourful, eclectic interior.
But we can just as easily imagine it displayed on a large wall as a textile artwork. A true tapis-tableau.
It's bold, playful and full of personality, yet the soft cream background keeps the entire composition surprisingly balanced.

GOOD TO KNOW
This is an individually handmade Moroccan rug. Slight variations in shape, texture, pile height and finishing are part of its character.
The dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the piece.
Professional rug cleaning recommended. Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush will help maintain its beautiful texture.
Personally selected in Marrakech during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
