Product Description
Product Description
Warm, colourful, and original, the Moroccan interior can be recreated in a house or an apartment, in the North or in the South. Colourful zelliges, delicately sculpted ceilings and doors, fountains, terraces and patios, living room alcoves with multicoloured cushions, bedrooms with cedar furniture, wooden openwork tables: everything is a source of inspiration in Morocco. To create this fascinating Northern African decor, this book gives all the necessary advice for each room, complete with numerous practical text blocks which explain, for example, how to put in a terrace, make a tent, prepare a whitewash coating, or even build a small personal hammam. The photographs which illustrate these explanations allow one to discover magnificent Moroccan interiors in detail. At the end of the book, a detailed address book traces a journey from Morocco to France.

Excellent book - very informative and full of practical advice to achieve that Morrocan flavour. By far the best value - buy this before considering spending lots on other books.

Format:Hardcover
Aside from the usual Moroccan design books, you must add this one to your reference library. It has all the usual features that one would associate with Moroccan design - painted cedar ceilings, thuya wood crafts, zellige, brass lanterns, carpets, tadelakt, banquettes, etc. It gives a short historical snapshot of how these design ideas came about and how they are being used, not only by the Moroccans, but by some of the top-notch designers working from the country today. Pictures are clear and attractive and the text is highly informative and written in a casual and comprehensible style. Highly recommended.

This is an uncomplicated book with an easy to read layout. It gives you a feel of the culture with the wonderful colours of moroccan interiors, and not too big to overwhelm you.
Listmania!
