Meet SQUARES — a wonderfully textured vintage Boucherouite built from little bursts of colour.

I found this one at the criée berbère in Marrakech in June 23. From a distance, SQUARES has an almost pixelated composition, with small irregular blocks of pink, red, blue, green, cream, grey and brown scattered across a darker background.

Come closer and it gets even more interesting. Each little section reveals a different repurposed textile — from soft jersey-like strips to patterned and frayed fabrics — giving the rug an incredibly rich, tactile surface.

Nothing is perfectly aligned or repeated, and that is precisely its charm. SQUARES feels spontaneous, slightly quirky and completely one of a kind.

At 170 × 95 cm, it’s an easy size to add colour and texture beside a bed, in a reading corner, dressing room or smaller living space.

DETAILS

• One-of-a-kind vintage Boucherouite rug
• Handmade in Morocco
• Repurposed textiles in a mix of colours and textures

• Multicolour on a predominantly dark background
• Handmade character: small irregularities in shape, weave, edges and texture are part of the piece

ORIGIN & SOURCING

Personally sourced by Joëlle for SOUK in the CITY at the criée berbère in Marrakech. Selected one by one for its unusual patchwork composition, rich texture and individual character.

CARE

Regularly shake out or gently vacuum using low suction and without a rotating brush.

As this vintage Boucherouite combines different repurposed textiles, professional rug cleaning is the safest option for a deeper clean.
