Play with pattern. Anchor with texture.
The Checkmate Rug elevates the timeless checkerboard motif through a sculpted high-low wool pile — delivering a refined statement that shifts beautifully with light and shadow. Offered in three tonal colorways — Ivory on Ivory, Black on Black, and Taupe on Taupe — this rug adds architectural depth while maintaining a calming, neutral palette.
Each piece is handwoven from 100% hand-spun virgin wool by Madouk’s artisan partners in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The high-low construction gives the grid its signature 3D quality — inviting both the eyes and feet to engage with the pattern.
Ideal for spaces that crave structure without visual clutter, Checkmate holds its own in minimal, modern, and artful interiors.
Raised high-low checkered design for sculptural effect
Available in three neutral palettes:
• Ivory on Ivory – subtle and serene
• Black on Black – moody and bold
• Taupe on Taupe – soft and earthy
Crafted from 100% raw, hand-spun Moroccan wool
Ethically woven by artisan women weavers
Naturally dyed using local plant-based pigments
Durable and versatile – perfect for living rooms, entries, or workspaces
Offered in standard and custom sizes
Soft contrast. Strong impact. Make your move with Checkmate.
