Multicoloured Diamond Berber Rug: Elwen ElKef

Bring Colour and Joy Into Your Home with the Elwen ElKef Berber Rug

Elevate your space with the vibrant beauty of the Elwen ElKef — a rug that tells a story as rich and timeless as the land it comes from

This vibrant rug is handwoven in Kef, northwestern Tunisia, from local wool using the traditional mergoum flat-weave technique. Its light, thin design makes it ideal for layering underneath furniture in living rooms and dining rooms.

The rug’s repeating diamond pattern is rich in symbolism, representing the flow of time and the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. Its vibrant palette mirrors the changing light in Kef — from the soft hues of sunrise to the golden tones of dusk — all grounded in earthy browns inspired by the region’s rugged terrain.

Each rug is a labor of love, taking weeks to complete by hand. Expertly woven by Berber artisan Saida, it’s crafted using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations of her family.

Whether you're refreshing a space or looking for a meaningful statement piece, the Elwen ElKef is more than a rug — it's a story woven in wool, and a daily reminder to find joy in every moment.
