Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh
Revised Edition | Thames & Hudson, London
A visually sumptuous exploration of Moroccan architecture and interior design, Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh is an essential volume for collectors of global design and decorative arts. Featuring photography by Lisl Dennis and text by Landt Dennis, this richly illustrated book captures the layered cultural heritage and aesthetic sophistication of Morocco’s domestic spaces.
Published by Thames & Hudson (Revised Edition, 2001/2002), the volume presents 346 color photographs across 252 pages, documenting interiors that range from former harems and Hispano-Moorish townhouses to kasbahs in the Sahara and refined residences in Casablanca and Marrakesh.
The book examines Morocco’s distinctive decorative vocabulary—intricate zellige tilework, carved plaster relief, painted cedar ceilings, fine leatherwork, Berber rugs, and thuya wood craftsmanship—revealing how centuries of Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and European influences converge in a vibrant design language. Iconic sites such as the Majorelle Gardens and La Mamounia are explored alongside intimate courtyard homes and bustling souks, offering both scholarly insight and immersive visual inspiration.
A refined resource for interior designers, architects, and collectors of Islamic and North African decorative arts, this volume functions equally as a scholarly reference and a striking coffee-table statement.
