Inspire Me > Texture and Architecture

Texture

The craftmanship of carvers and engravers is evident throughout Moroccan architecture and design work.  Geometric patterns, found elsewhere in ceramic, are transformed into intricate tracery and reliefs.  Traditional materials, including stone, plaster, wood and brass are found in homewares as well as the buildings they occupy.

Architecture

Morocco undoubtedly has the richest and most remarkable urban architectural heritage in North Africa.  The shapes and forms found in doors and vaulted ceilings are revealed in the detailed design of mirrors and furniture.
