21180 New Modern Bauhaus Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, 09'05 x 12'07.
A triumph of woven modernism and ancestral memory, this hand-knotted wool Bauhaus-inspired Beni Mrirt Moroccan rug is more than a floor covering—it is a living, breathing artifact of design history. With every precious knot meticulously tied in the Middle Atlas Mountains, this singular textile pays radiant homage to the trailblazing work of Gunta Stolzl, the first female master of the Bauhaus weaving workshop, who championed the idea that color, structure, and symbolism could exist in joyful, dynamic harmony.
The magnificent work of art unfurls in three poetic acts: first, a serene overture of black undulating linework dances across an ivory ground—reminiscent of Stolzl’s early experiments in visual rhythm and linear contrast. This restrained opening gives way to a kaleidoscopic middle register, a mosaic of checkerboards, zigzags, chevrons, and stripes that tumble together in a jubilant explosion of chromatic intelligence. Here, each micro-composition functions as a distinct voice, harmonizing with the others to create a modular abstraction akin to a visual symphony.
In its final movement, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece transitions into a playful procession of arrows and glyphic marks, evoking motion, migration, and intention. These signature forms, like footfalls or cosmic pointers, guide the eye forward—an echo of the directional forces so often seen in Bauhaus textiles. And yet, despite its unmistakable modernist lineage, this labyrinth of motion remains grounded in its Berber heritage, carrying with it the texture, meaning, and humility of handwork passed down through generations.
Exquisitely rare, this exclusive treasure embodies the highest values of ethical artistry and design prestige. It invites collectors to partake in a narrative of cross-cultural brilliance, where Moroccan mastery meets European abstraction, and where each sumptuous woven thread tells a story of creativity, courage, and vision. For the connoisseur seeking something truly extraordinary, this rug is not only a statement of refined taste—but a textile manifesto of legacy and luxury.
