Majestic Morocco

Exploring the sights & smells of Marrakesh

Marrakesh is a designer’s dream! This immersive trip to Morocco with the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture and Mitchell Owens of Architectural Digest was filled with unbelievable surprises around every corner. From the tidal wave of color, to the  celebration of decorative arts, and the aroma of exotic fruit and flowers, the entire experience was transformative. A feast for the senses, the experience was refreshing, energizing and restorative.

A vivid blue building with teal-trimmed doors and windows, black tiled floor, and stairs to the left. Potted plants add greenery; a large cactus is visible on the left. Bright sunlight casts shadows across the scene.
A cozy restaurant with red and white striped cushions, a green tile table set with plates and glasses, wicker lamps above, and a wall decorated with red and white patterned plates of various sizes. Rustic brick and warm tones create an inviting atmosphere.
Intricately decorated octagonal ceiling with geometric patterns and floral motifs in vibrant reds, golds, and browns. The walls beneath display arches, detailed tilework, and Arabic calligraphy, all richly colored and ornately designed in Islamic architectural style.
A cozy patio features a long green sofa with tropical print pillows, a round striped green ottoman holding fruit, a wicker chair, a woven rug, and green walls with wooden windows. A bamboo roof lets in light, and wooden doors open to an indoor space.
A dining room with six patterned chairs around a wooden table. The ceiling is covered in hanging dried foliage. Large windows with sheer curtains line one side, and a neutral painting and vases decorate the back wall. Light beige walls and marble flooring.
