Ready for your own Carpet of Life?

Together we make a unique carpet.

How it works

Step 1

Do you want a Carpet of Life? Have you collected all the clothes and textiles? (Do this with an open mind: towels, bed linen, tights, socks. Almost everything is usable!) Then make an appointment! During the design intake, we discuss all the details and create your personally designed carpet.

Design

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

You can choose from different weaving techniques:

Knotting
Weave flat
A combination of the two

As a basis for your carpet, we have six standard designs:

Big diamond
Graphic
Multi
Abstract
Small diamonds
Stripes

We can even combine our standard designs. Even better - you can make your own design with geometric shapes. Our team is happy to help you!

Boucherouite

Each Carpet of Life is based on Moroccan Boucherouite carpets, created by nomad families. Boucherouite is also referred to as 'poor man's carpet': made from old materials.

Boucherouite carpets have been on the rise since the 1960s. Wool became scarcer at that time. At the same time, more and more clothes were discarded due to the rise of fast fashion. Boucherouite carpets can be found in many Moroccan homes, they are sometimes used for sleeping.

Although this type of carpet is relatively new, the same techniques are used for traditional wool carpets. This craft of carpet making has been passed on from mother to daughter. Usually, it is four or five women working on one carpet at the same time - dividing the roles between cutting, sorting, and knotting...but also cooking, making tea, and watching the children.
