SOUK in the CITY
Boucherouite Rug – MEISSA | ca 260 × 70 cm
An original vintage Moroccan rug, selected for its exceptional textile composition. Irregular edges, visible fabric strips, colour variations and signs of age are part of its handmade character.
MEISSA – A RUNNER WITH A WILD HEART.
Meet MEISSA, a one-of-a-kind vintage Moroccan Boucherouite runner, personally sourced in Marrakech.
With its warm coral-peach base, bold elongated diamond motif and playful pops of burgundy, navy, mustard, lilac, mint and grey-blue, MEISSA has that instantly eye-catching look we can never resist. Graphic, expressive and a little bit eccentric — in the best possible way.
What makes this piece so special is the contrast between the strong central pattern and the softer, almost painterly background. The long diamond shape gives the rug movement and rhythm, while the scattered motifs and visible variations in texture remind you that this is a fully handmade piece with a story of its own.
MEISSA is the kind of runner that easily lifts a space. Not subtle, not boring — just full of soul.
THE ART OF BOUCHEROUITE
Boucherouite rugs are part of Morocco’s rich textile tradition. They are often made using a mix of wool, cotton and recycled materials, giving each piece its own depth, texture and character.
Rather than aiming for perfect symmetry, these rugs celebrate creativity, spontaneity and resourcefulness. That is exactly what gives them their charm. The result is a textile that feels alive — full of movement, colour shifts and little irregularities that make every piece truly unique.
MEISSA is a beautiful example of that spirit: expressive, imperfect and impossible to copy exactly.
