Contributions to the Moroccan Design
Berbers, the indigenous or original people of Morocco, have lived there for more than 4,000 years.
these Nomadic tribes moved along with their grazing herds of sheep skill. Berbers used to spun the
wool from those sheep and wove rugs or "kilims" with different bright colors created form plant dyes -
which were common back then- ,designs varied according to tribes segregating them from each other
accordingly. Some Berbers had some other different interests in mining for silver and were quite
skilled at working silver. Judaism and Christianity were the primary religions until the Arab conquest
occurred in the 7th century, which led to significant conversions in terms of design,material and
fabrics used.designs at this point started to reflect Islamic patterns with its curves either used in
kilims or silver all was reflecting Islamic cultural influences.
Moors, people descent from the Arabs, introduced Islamic art traditions to Morocco with the 7th
century conquests. One of the significant Islamic influence was the marquetry, or art of making wood
inlay designs, which was welcomed by the Moroccans due to its beauty and authenticity and was
adopted by many Moroccan in their wooden furniture pieces.
