What it is?
These beautiful Poufs (or floor cushions) are made from vintage Moroccan Kilim rugs by talented artisans in Marrakesh, Morocco. Kilim rugs are known for the geometrically patterned, hand woven details. Because each rug is different, each of our Kilim Poufs will be completely different in color and pattern.
Key Benefits
The history of Moroccan Kilim rugs dates as far back as the Paleolithic Era. Traditionally, they were woven by the Berber tribes for their utility, reflecting Morocco's distinctive climate. Vegetable dyes are used to give the Berber Wool it’s rich color. Hand woven and knotted by the women of the tribe, each rug can take up to a year to complete.
- These Poufs are used in Morocco for floor cushions and are traditionally stuffed with off-season clothes such as kaftans – in the winter the summer kaftans are stored in the Pouf and in the summer the winter kaftans are stored in the Pouf. If you are short on kaftans that need seasonal storage, may we recommend stuffing with old towels or blankets, you can also stuff with inexpensive pillows.
