The Bereber rug combines traditional Moroccan hand-knotting techniques with 100% virgin New Zealand wool for a richly textured surface. Its tie-dyed threads — a process where textiles are bound during colouring — produce nuanced tonal variation across the pile, while alternating patterns in close proximity create a diffused, gradient-like surface design. The natural variation in the dyed wool threads adds depth and visual richness to the finished piece.
Created by hand, knot by knot, GAN's 'Bereber' rug is a contemporary combination of traditional Moroccan techniques with 100% virgin New Zealand wool. The application of tie-dyed threads — a method in which textiles are tied while they are being coloured — has resulted in a nuanced and beautiful variation in tone, while alternating patterns in close proximity to each other amount to a surface design that appears diffused. The varying colours and gradients that appear in the dyed wool threads themselves create a richness and depth to a rug that is equal doses luxe and modern.
