Product Description
Here is a lavish survey of 22 of Marrakeshs most spectacular private homes. Marrakesh the Red City is famously beautiful, attracting thousands of visitors each year, drawn to its medina, mosques and vast, colourful souk. This book takes the reader behind the high walls of the citys ancient, narrow streets to see the splendid riads they conceal. A host of glorious photographs make this a book to relish, and the detailed commentary of Marrakeshs houses and interiors make it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in interiors or design, as well as anyone who loves Marrakesh and Morocco.

Format:Hardcover
This book is a rehash of several places and the work of some of the designers featured in the authors' previous books published by Taschen (perhaps they wisely rejected this one?) The authors seem to have lost the plot in Marrakech and the reader would better off saving money and surfing the websites of riads and boutique hotels in this city to discover what is really 2010 Marrakech style, whether it be traditional, cutting-edge, or a mix of both. The book lacks serious editing: for instance, a double page spread of a red wall, four chairs and a fireplace with a Daliesque eye over it is followed by a single page zoom-in of the same red wall and eye. And where is 'the magic of living in Morocco' in the photograph of a corridor lined with what looks suspiciously like IKEA closets? There is too much emphasis on close-ups, rather than context which is a vital part of Marrakech, and with one or two exceptions, this gives the reader the impression of looking at interiors that could almost be anywhere in the world. The prose is also as tired and unimaginative as as the choice of properties and the photographs. In short, a disappointment.
