Taznakht rugs also called Ait Ouaouzguite rugs, come from the region between Ouarzazate and Taznakht in the high Atlas Mountains, the region of saffron culture. The carpet uses pure sheep wool and often involves five natural colors (black, white, yellow, navy, orange) that remind us of the colors we can admire in the Sahara Desert. The carpet can be used for summer or winter, floor or against the wall. It’s the carpet of High Atlas by eminence.
Among the craft activities, weaving is the oldest in Ouarzazate. The Ait Ouaouzguit Center is one of the main cradles of this artisanal production. Weaving for these regions is ancestral know-how that is transmitted at home and within the same family. Indeed, the mother introduces her daughter how to make a rug. The Taznakht carpet is recognized by the quality of the wool and the brilliance of the natural dyed colors. The women take care of the weaving and modeling of the carpets and the men of marketing in the weekly markets. The naturally-dyed colors, traditional design, purity of materials and deep spirituality of the art itself make Taznakht rugs so unique and reflect the Moroccan culture in the perfection of the weaving art.
Craftsmanship plays a very important role in the economy of the province of Ouarzazate and it is one of the fundamental characteristics of the daily life of this city. Thanks to national and international subsidies, several cooperatives and corporations have been created. The region of Ouarzazate has two main cooperatives: The cooperative of Ouarzazate and The Cooperative of Taznakht. The carpet or “Tazarbit”, woven practically in all the surrounding villages of Ouarzazate, is destined for domestic use but also commercial. The development of this significant work of art of ancestral knowledge, is one of the daily concerns of the families of these regions. The Ait Ouaouzguit Center is one of the main cradles of this artisanal production. This world-renowned center is located in the High Atlas, here the making of carpets predominates.
A vintage Taznakht rug with bright and natural colors can decorate any interior, from minimalistic, mid-century modern to bohemian. The colors remind us of the Sahara Desert and will help to accentuate an element of your home. It fills your interior with warmth and special Maghreb presence.
Moroccan diverse culture is reflected in the perfection of the weaving art. Simple and natural colors, traditional design, purity of materials and deep spirituality of the art itself make Taznakht rugs so magical.
