Elwen ElKef Berber Rug

Add Colour and Joy To Your Home With The Elwen ElKef Berber Rug

Transform your space with The Elwen ElKef (‘Colours of Kef’) Berber Rug. A standout piece in our collection.

This rug is handwoven in Kef, northwestern Tunisia, using the traditional mergoum flat-weave technique, renowned for its light, thin design. Unlike the thicker Kelim-style rugs, The Elwen ElKef offers a smooth, flat finish that’s ideal for rooms with furniture, such as living rooms and dining rooms.

Rich in symbolism, The Elwen ElKef is all about the flow of time. The geometric diamonds repeat in an endless loop, symbolizing the connection between past, present, and future. 

Its vibrant colours reflect the changing light of a day in Kef — from dawn to dusk — set against an earthy brown that echoes the mountainous landscape and resilient spirit of the Berber people.

It reminds us that whatever hardships we may face, there is always space for colour and joy — and there is always a new day brewing beyond the horizon.

Expertly handcrafted by Berber weaver Saida using natural wool and a traditional weaving method passed down through her family.

The Elwen ElKef is a stunning, durable piece that’s made to last. Enhance your space with this showstopping piece — and gift yourself a beautiful reminder to find the joy in every day.
