Brown and Cream Geometric Line Rug – Hand Knotted Wool Modern Abstract Moroccan Shag, Beni Mrirt

A brown and cream geometric line rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Nine bold hand-drawn espresso lines, each about 2.5 in wide, are laid out like an architect's floor plan on a plush field of undyed ivory: one long line runs the full length of the rug, and shorter lines branch off it at right angles and run out to the edges. Lines only ever meet in a T and never cross, so the ivory is divided into open rooms of different sizes. The lines are straight but drawn by hand, with soft, slightly irregular edges.

It has the calm order of modern architecture and the ease of a pencil sketch, and because no two rooms match it never reads as a simple grid. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or entrance hall, and it is also woven with navy lines.
