Made to order in your size. Custom designs welcome. Free delivery in the EU.

You see your rug before it ships. It is knotted by hand in your size, and we send you photos of the finished rug first. Custom designs are welcome.

Wool is dyed in small lots and every row is tied by hand, so shades, motifs and the final size will differ a little from the photos. That is the mark of the work, not a defect.

By placing an order, you accept these variations. Read more

Natural wool takes dye unevenly, so a cream can be warmer or cooler and a colour deeper or softer than on your screen. Motifs are drawn from memory, not from a template, so their placement shifts from one rug to the next. A hand-knotted rug can finish a few centimetres over or under the size ordered.

If an exact shade matters to you, write to us before ordering and we will send photos of the wool in daylight.

Details+

An expanse of undyed cream wool, almost empty, marked with a handful of black signs: a zigzag falling from the top left, ladder and pole forms rising through the middle, a lozenge, scattered dots and dashes, and a row of short strokes walking along the base like notation. It reads like a page of music or a poem written in a script only the weaver knew, which is what Izlan means: songs. Of all the designs in the collection this is the most minimal, and the most quietly powerful.

Why this rug+

Almost-empty composition in the oldest Beni Ourain spirit: undyed wool, charcoal marks, nothing else.

The marks sit mostly in the lower half, so the rug calms a room rather than filling it.

Undyed cream wool shows the natural variation of the fleece, from chalk to warm ivory.

I chose this design for modern interiors: it belongs equally under a Scandinavian sofa and on a terracotta floor.

How this sits in a room+

In natural light

This rug is about texture more than pattern. Side light in the morning and evening brings the relief of the knots alive; at midday it reads as a soft cream field.

Wall colours it suits

Any warm neutral works. Against charcoal or deep olive walls the cream field glows and the black marks disappear and reappear as you move.

Floor and furniture

The classic choice under a sofa or bed. Works with every floor; the quieter the furniture, the better the marks read.

Care instructions+

Vacuum regularly

Low suction, against the pile. Avoid the fringes with the nozzle.

Brush once or twice a year

Keeps the wool fibres alive and the texture looking its best.

Treat stains quickly

Blot gently with warm water and a little Woolite. Never rub.

Let it breathe

Never leave it folded for long. Wool needs air to stay in good shape.

Natural freshening tip

A light mist of water, bicarbonate of soda, and a few drops of mint essential oil refreshes the rug between cleans and acts as a natural insect repellent in spring and summer.

Handmade variations+

Every rug is knotted by hand, row by row. Colours and the small details of the pattern differ from the photographs and from one rug to the next. This is not a defect. It is the signature of handmade work and what makes your piece yours alone. Read about handmade variations
