by Lisa Lovatt-Smith (Author)
A temptation to dream. This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean - Morocco. The diversity is breathtaking: the rural pise architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan interiors are as endlessly varied, as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live), to humble troglodyte fishermen's homes at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou. The colorful palette of this country, and the light there, itself suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco, as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in decor worldwide.
