The Majlis at San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice,

Inspired by nomadic architecture, the Majlis structure is designed by bamboo architects Simón Vélez and Stefana Simic.

It is wrapped in textiles handwoven in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco by a women’s collective from Ain Leuh, and the Boujad Tribe of Morocco. 

Installed in a wildflower garden at the Abbazia of San Giorgio Maggiore, imagined by landscape architect Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, that will remain once the biennale is over, the Majlis was commissioned by Caravane Earth Foundation and is curated by Dr. Thierry Morel, currently the Director and Curator-at-Large to the Hermitage Museum Foundation (USA), as well as Trustee of the Sir John Soane's Museum (London).

Moroccan Rugs: Different Styles and Types

You have probably heard of Moroccan rugs. Perhaps you even have one or want one for your home. But did you know that there are different types and styles of Moroccan rugs that have evolved over the years? Yes, there is a wide selection that differs in the way they were created, where they are from, and what the designs look like.

If you are interested in learning about the different types and styles of Moroccan rugs, you are in the right place, as Atlas Weavers will share a quick guide for you. This will help you decide which one is the most suitable for your aesthetic:

  What Is a Moroccan Rug?

A Moroccan rug is an exquisite rug that is designed and crafted by talented Berber women. It has been considered a representation of different Moroccan cultures and beliefs. They show the artistic capabilities of the local crafters and highlight the diversity of their traditions and cultures.

Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug (Middle Atlas)

Coming from the Middle Atlas region of Morocco, the rugs from Beni Ourain are the most comfortable ones you’ll find. They can add a sense of luxury to any space. They are crafted from 100% sheep wool and are dyed naturally, too. They are perfect for those who want to achieve a natural yet sophisticated look in their home. 

Azilal Moroccan Rug (High Atlas)

Rugs from the Azilal region tell stories through the creative patterns and bold colors they use. The base of an Azilal rug is a light shade of ivory, white, or cream, which is the natural undyed shade of the wool used. It is then woven with bright, naturally dyed wool to create incredible designs. 

Boucherouite Moroccan Rug (All Tribes)

If you’re looking for a fun and colorful Moroccan rug, your best bet is the Boucherouite rug which can quickly transform any living space. Each rug is unique as it depicts the creativity of the Berber Moroccan crafter who made it. It can add an artistic and cultural flair to your home.

Beni M’guild (Middle Atlas)

Because it can get cold during winter in the western Middle Atlas region of Morocco, the Beni M’guild people create rugs that are thick enough to provide them with warmth and protection. These are handwoven by Berber women crafters using a vertical loom, so they usually have simple geometric designs that run across the carpet. The background of Beni M’guild rugs is often brown, red, and white, but you’ll also find blue ones. 

Boujad (Central Plains)

These handwoven pile rugs come from the Haouz region in the Middle Atlas. Boujad rugs are made with soft wool that is naturally dyed in distinct shades of red, orange, and blush pink. 

Kilim Moroccan Rug (All Tribes)

Handwoven rugs that are pileless, Kilim rugs are made using a flat-weaving technique. Compared to other rugs, they are less thick, but they’re durable, too. Because they are hand-made, they are often considered the self-expression of the crafter. So, if you want something unique, then you should choose a Kilim rug because you’ll get a one-of-a-kind piece!

Zanafi Rugs (Ouarzazate Region)

Zanafi rugs come from the region of Morocco that’s just in the South of Marrakech. These are flat-woven rugs, too. They are best known for their earthy brown and ivory color and cubic patterns. 

Conclusion

As you can see, there are different types and styles of Moroccan rugs to choose from. Whichever one you choose, you’ll surely enjoy a rug that doesn’t just add to your home’s aesthetics but also lend a sense of culture to your space. They’re great conversation pieces, too! Just make sure that you get authentic Moroccan rugs from a trusted source.

Atlas Weavers are your best source of authentic Moroccan rugs. You can be sure that every rug is crafted by artistic Berber women. Check out our Moroccan rug collections today, choose what suits your home the best, and we’ll have it delivered to your home!

The Majlis at San Giorgio Maggiore

The Majlis San Giorgio Maggiore Venice, Caravane Earth Foundation Event, Bamboo Design Exhibition Italy

The Majlis at San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice

21 May 2021

The Majlis: a meeting place opens

Friday 21st of May 2021 – new photos of this structure:

Caravane Earth Foundation has installed a unique bamboo Majlis to the gardens of the Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice for the 2021 Architecture Biennale from 22 May – 21 November 2021 (Preview: 21 May 2021). The project is one of the official Collateral Events that reflect the 2021 Architecture Biennale’s theme of How will we live together?

Majlis is a word that originated in Pre-Islamic Arabia, meaning “council” or “gathering place.” Traditionally, a majlis is a place where people come together to discuss local events and issues, exchange news, socialise, and deepen their connection with each other. Inspired by nomadic architecture, the Majlis is designed by the internationally acclaimed bamboo architects Simón Vélez and Stefana Simic. It is wrapped in textiles handwoven in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco by a women’s collective from Ain Leuh, and the Boujad Tribe of Morocco.

The Majlis structure was installed in a wildflower garden at the Abbazia of San Giorgio Maggiore, designed by celebrated landscape architect Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, with plants from East and West. Once the Biennale is over, the garden will stay at the Abbazia as a gift to Venice.

An exhibition inside the Abbey of San Giorgio will contextualise the Majlis, featuring the people and materials involved in its construction. A wide range of objects and craftsmanship is presented, some associated with nomadic peoples and the majlis, others highlighting the exchange between East and West, with Venice as a major hub.

Loans will be exhibited from Wereldmuseum (the Netherlands), the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani (FBQ) Museum, and the monastery of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in the Venetian lagoon. Due to the pandemic, craftsmen that originally produced the Majlis could not travel, so the construction has been assembled with the involvement of local Venetian craftspeople.

The Majlis embodies the values and mission of Caravane Earth Foundation: to champion and preserve craftsmanship and vernacular architecture, the careful sourcing of materials, ethical production, and community.

The Majlis also provides a spectacular platform for events reflecting on our collective futures on planet Earth: experts from many fields and nations will discuss the Biennale theme How we will live together? in a world of rapid change and uncertainty.

La Biennale di Venezia 2021 – The Majlis at San Giorgio Maggiore

The Majlis: a meeting place

Collateral event of the 17th international architecture exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia

The Majlis undergoing construction at San Giorgio Maggiore

The Majlis events programme includes the participation of the Simón Vélez, Stefana Simic, the Smithsonian Institution, INTBAU, the University of Cambridge, UNESCO, the Aga Khan University, RestART Beirut, the State Hermitage Museum, and the Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni. The Majlis events are produced in partnership with the Science and Human Dimension Project.

Following Venice, Caravane Earth Foundation and the Majlis will begin a multi-year journey, travelling to countries in East and West to find answers to the vital question How will we live together?

The Majlis was commissioned by Caravane Earth Foundation to be a community meeting place and centre for vernacular architecture and construction skills in Qatar.  Caravane Earth is an international foundation based in the Netherlands and is the sponsor of The Majlis exhibition.

The Majlis was inscribed on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in 2015 as ‘a cultural and social space’. UNESCO’s list aims to ensure better protection of important intangible cultural heritages worldwide and the awareness of their significance.

The Majlis is held in collaboration with Benedicti Claustra Onlus, the Benedictine community of San Giorgio Maggiore.

Colombian architect Simón Vélez is the world’s foremost innovator working with bamboo, the most sustainable of natural building materials which he calls ‘vegetable steel’. Working with Stefana Simic, they strive to widen the use of bamboo in building.

Vélez’s building for Expo Hanover 2000 became the World Expo’s most popular pavilion with 6.4 million visitors, and he has been awarded The Principal Prince Claus Award (2009) and the Award of Honour in Analysis and Planning by the American Society of Landscape Architects for ‘Crosswaters Ecolodge’ (2006).  Vélez and Simic together run the design-build firm Gigagrass, based in Colombia.

The Majlis is curated by Dr Thierry Morel whose many award-winning exhibitions include Houghton Revisited exhibition at Houghton Hall, as well as Francis Bacon and the Art of the Past at the State Hermitage Museum on the occasion of the Museum’s 250th Anniversary and subsequently at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich. His book on pre-Revolution architecture and art collecting in St Petersburg was recently published by Rizzoli (New York). Morel is currently Director and Curator-at-Large to the Hermitage Museum Foundation (USA), as well as Trustee of the Sir John Soane’s Museum (London).

Caravane Foundation

Caravane Earth is an international foundation based in the Netherlands with a mission to develop, practice and promote ethical entrepreneurship and wellbeing through art, craft, architecture, agriculture, innovation and education. The Foundation’s team is a global fellowship of artists, craftsmen, architects, thought leaders, film makers, entrepreneurs, innovators and experts in sustainability, water, agriculture and green energy. Nationalities include Colombia, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Qatar, Russia, UK and USA.

How To Choose The Perfect Rug

How To Choose The Perfect Rug

Interiors

Lauren Li

Floor rugs tell stories of nomadic tribes in faraway places, of weavers, magic carpet rides and of age-old traditions. They are not only home furnishings; their patterns hold meaning and tell a story of the people and place where they were woven, often using ancient techniques and with a good dose of creativity and soul. Natural fibres such as wool and silk are hand-dyed and woven into a pattern resulting in the most stunning pieces, which are almost too beautiful to set foot on!

In interiors, a floor rug is essential in creating a complete room. Rugs add movement, colour, softness and ground a space. They define zones in an open-plan area, help with acoustics, feel lovely to walk on and, of course, look beautiful. The right floor rug should sit quietly in the space, connecting the colours and patterns of the room. It shouldn’t be too overpowering nor too neutral.

My personal pet-hate is when a rug is too small – go large or go home people! I have a few other rules too:

1. All of the living room furniture needs to sit on the floor rug. At least 30 centimetres of the rug needs to go under the front legs of the sofa, and depending on the layout, often the entire sofa needs to sit on the floor rug. Armchairs and side tables should also be able to fit on a rug because it should ground the space, rather than float around. Plus, a small rug will only make the room seem smaller too.

2. I am yet to see a brightly coloured, round shaped rug that didn’t belong in a childcare centre. Instead, I recommend opting for a neutral round rug or a brightly coloured rug in a more conventional rectangular shape.

3. A plush pile beige floor rug will show every mark! Unless you are able to carefully look after it, this style of rug can easily look a bit grubby. For this reason, light coloured rugs are best kept away from external doors.

4. This is an item that you’ll need to save your money for, don’t be tempted to try to save money by buying the smaller size. A rug that is too small just ‘floats’ in the space, and no matter how expensive it was, will look a bit cheap.

5. What about floor rugs under dining tables? The answer is yes, and no. It really depends on your lifestyle: if you have small children that spill things all the time, then a rug under the table is not a good idea. It also really depends on the type of rug – go for something patterned and textured that can hide small stains, and make sure it’s really large so that the table and all chairs fit on it. In an open plan space, this rug placement can help to create a zone and also with acoustics.

There are an enormous number of floor rugs on the market, however, they always seem hard to find. I’ve delved into the depths of all of the rug suppliers that I know to show you the best, in varied price points. From traditional to rustic boho, casual coastal to colourful and bold, with some neutral options thrown in, I hope that there are some ideas to get you started.

When all of the sources have been exhausted there is always the luxury of having a custom rug made for you to your exact colour, design and size. Keep in mind that custom rugs are made by human hands, sometimes they are created in the open air by multiple artisans at once. You are not only buying a beautiful piece for your home, you’re also buying craftsmanship, time and a dash of inspiration and soul. A custom-made rug is a true luxury.

Casual and Coastal

If you’re looking to keep it nice and natural, there are plenty of beautiful floor rugs to choose from. Opting for a light coloured floor rug? You’ll need plenty of interesting texture that can help disguise marks and stains. Texture is also a way to add interest to space as a lack of colour and texture can look bit dull.

Consider layering floor rugs, with a large sisal rug underneath and another patterned rug on top.

Traditional

These rugs are timeless and work well in so many different types of spaces and architectural styles – everything from mid-century open-plan homes, to Victorian mansions or contemporary houses.

Genuine antique rugs with Persian, Anatolian, Caucasian and European origins are true investments as they don’t date and can be passed down through the family.

Colour

Adding colour to a space by way of a floor rug is always a great idea.

If you’re a little bit cautious, don’t stress; furniture pieces will be placed onto the floor rug, which helps to break up a bold splash of colour.  And remember, a floor rug is in no way as overpowering as adding such bold colour to your curtains!

Hallway

Finding the perfect hall runner feel like striking gold! I will say that the chances of finding a runner in the right colours, pattern and length to suit a particular space can often be slim. You might have to have a runner be custom made for the length of your hallway. Otherwise, one alternative is to mix-and-match a couple of vintage Moroccan rugs.

1. Nepalese ‘Jan Kath Haik’ (420x115cm) rug from Cadrys

2. Antique Bakhtiar Lori (99x230cm) rug from Cadrys

Rustic Boho

Some trends come and go but the Moroccan rug is firmly here to stay. This shaggy wool rug comes in various patterns according to its origins, and are relevant to the location in which it is created.

I’ve found that their typical natural colours and, of course, that beautiful texture make these rugs very forgiving to live with.

Cool and Calm

I’m a huge fan of blue rugs, as I’ve seen shades of this colour works so well in many houses. It’s so easy to live with and combines with other colours and materials so easily.

Not just for Living Rooms

Floor rugs are a great addition in just about every area of the house, so don’t just limit them to the living room. Consider the entry, kitchen, bathroom and those in-between spaces. A rug can add so much personality and totally change the way a space can feel.

Sometimes a rectangular rug just won’t suit areas of the house, such as the entryway, so here you can try a round or organic shape.  An unusual shape can often be a perfect out-of-theme addition to a space with lots of architectural straight lines.

1. Ames Sala Nudo (large) rug in blue orange ochre from Halcyon Lake

2. Perennial Collection rug Camellia from Armadillo&Co

3. Splash mat Fleck rug from Amigos de Hoy at Apartment Sisällä

Nice and Neutral

If there is a lot going on in the room, a neutral rug can be the best option. But neutral definitely doesn’t mean boring!

Make sure that there’s some interesting texture to give it a lift, and also help hide little stains so it’s easier to live with.

1. Sheepskin area rug from Hides of Excellence

2. City Wellington rug from Halcyon Lake

3. Hutton rug from Designer Rugs

Bring Everything Together

If you have a space that has quite a few eclectic elements going on, then it can be amazing to see how everything can come together with the perfect floor rug.  A rug that has a few colours in it, can ground the space and tie everything in together.

A large graphic pattern is a great way to unify through colour, without having a rug look too busy.

1. Nobsa (large) rug in rose ochre from Halcyon Lake

2. Tammy Kanat Expose rug from Cadrys

3. Tapis/Oldie Nomad 2.0 rug in blue from Loom

4. Patricia Urquiola Vision A Soie rug from Loom

Black and White

When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a black-and-white floor rug.

These are guaranteed to go with anything and always look elegant and smart.

1. Noor collection in cream/black (297x251cm) from Loom

2. DAPPLE by GN rug from Designer Rugs

3. Broken Lines rug in black from Cadrys

Affordable & Cheerful

You all know that obvious Swedish place to go for affordable rugs (IKEA) so I’m going to try and open your eyes to some other bargains here!

In general, flatweave rugs and rag rugs are the most affordable options.

1. Rug from HK Living

2. Rug from HK Living

3. Boho-Lennox rug from The Rug Collection

4. Moroccan Ribbed Diamonds rug from Cadrys

Grown-Up Luxury

There are some rugs that make me weak at the knees, they are just too beautiful.  The silk glistens and feels unbelievably soft, the craftsmanship is exquisite and they are works of art that you walk on.

These are to be reserved for the ‘good room’, that penthouse or the bedroom.

2. Shibori Dots rug in earth from Halcyon Lake
