moroccan interiors once thought too exotic for western taste are now trending the mainstream design world. excess in every mode and medium harmonize in heavy textiles, headi patterns, and vibrant colors.
a shared neighbor to each france, portugal, spain, the mediterannean, islamic, persian and african borders- morocco's geographic location makes it a natural fit for blending. borrowed from each of these cultures are shapes reflecting unique scripts, tribal prints, and indigenous materials.
a simple telling of their life through art, clashing colors represent the world that surrounds them- jewel toned purples, sunset reds, sky blues, sunshine yellows, grass greens, and desert tans. even when taken out of the country's context, this collage is mesmerizing and never disorienting.
the design for low seating (in dining and entertaining) is also a characteristic of the land. moroccans' natural adaptation to their hot climate yields an organic desire to lay low. thick floor pillows, too many throw pillows, and relaxed lounging transition the vibe of a summer day into a cool air conditioned room.
as we see this style synthetically produced beyond its borders, a bohemain flair emerges speaking the universal language of comfort, color, and community.
