Description
Bold black-and-white Moroccan diamonds meet ultra-plush 2-inch shag pile — the Bente turns any floor into a statement and a cloud at the same time.
A rectangular high-pile shag area rug in a bold two-tone black and white colorway. The rug is divided into three distinct horizontal band sections, each featuring a different Moroccan-inspired geometric motif: the top band displays a diamond lattice with small dot accents on a black ground; the middle band features large interlocking diamond/trellis shapes in white on black with zigzag chevron borders; the bottom band shows smaller diamond and dot motifs on a white ground. The pile is thick and fluffy — approximately 2 inches — giving the surface a plush, textured appearance with slight pile variation between the raised white and recessed black areas. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is graphic, bold, and luxuriously soft-looking.

About This Rug
The Bente Shag Area Rug is a bold statement piece that blends Moroccan-inspired geometric patterns with the irresistible softness of a high-pile shag. Rendered in a striking black and white colorway, the rug features layered bands of diamond lattice, chevron zigzags, and trellis motifs — giving it a rich, tribal-boho character that feels both globally inspired and effortlessly modern. Crafted from 100% polypropylene and machine woven in Turkey, the Bente delivers a plush 1.97-inch pile that feels luxurious underfoot while remaining practical for everyday living.
The stain-resistant fibers make it a smart choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks. Its thick 2.05-inch profile adds serious cushioning and warmth to any hard floor. The high-contrast black and white palette makes it incredibly versatile — it anchors a neutral room with drama or complements a maximalist boho space with ease.
Whether you're styling a contemporary apartment or a cozy eclectic home, the Bente brings texture, pattern, and personality in equal measure.
Care & Cleaning
Follow these steps to keep your shag rugs looking their best:
- Use a wool-approved product in combination with spray extraction for cleaning.
- Note that shedding is a normal occurrence for shag rugs and will decrease over time. Avoid pulling the yarn out as it may cause rug damage.
- For effective cleaning, opt for canister vacuums without a beater bar. Vacuums that have beater bars and/or brushes, or those set too low, may potentially damage the rug's surface.
