About us
At Cooperative Atma, craft is part of daily life — fibers are woven, stories are shared, and materials are shaped with care. Our work is rooted in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco, where traditional weaving practices continue to guide the objects we create.
We begin with our rugs, which are hand-knotted in our cooperative using wool sourced from our region. Each rug is made using long-established techniques passed down over time. The patterns and motifs often reflect the landscape and cultural heritage of the Middle Atlas. Natural variations in color, texture, and weave are part of the character of every piece and highlight the individuality of the artisan who made it.
Alongside our rugs, we craft Moroccan pillows using textiles woven in the Middle Atlas. Many pillows feature wool panels or traditional fabrics paired with cotton or linen backings. These pieces bring together regional materials and simple, functional design, offering distinctive accents for the home. We also create handwoven baskets, home textiles, and decor that reflect the same attention to craft and connection to tradition.
How We Work
At Cooperative Atma, each rug is made through a clear process that focuses on local materials and skilled weaving. Our team plans patterns and sizes, selects fibers from the Middle Atlas region, and weaves each piece on hand-operated looms. The women in our cooperative work with steady, practiced techniques, preparing fibers, managing the looms, and building each rug row by row. After the weaving is complete, every rug is finished, checked, and prepared for sale in our online store.
Choosing Cooperative Atma supports responsible craft-making and the continuation of local weaving traditions.
