Morocco Home : A Project Culturel

Amazigh craftsmanship from Morocco for homes, hotels and interiors with soul

Morocco Home brings authentic Amazigh craftsmanship from Morocco to people who love beauty, warmth, quality and meaning.

Rugs, textiles, woodwork, ceramics, art objects, fossils, paintings and distinctive interior pieces. Not anonymous factory products, but objects made by human hands. Things that carry time, a feeling for material, knowledge of form, transmission and care.

For private clients, interior designers, hotels, riads and decorators who are not simply looking for more decoration, but for pieces that truly bring something to a space.

Morocco Home is still being built. You can already support us by following our work, buying a piece, sharing our story or helping us build the webshop and the future Amazigh culture house in Essaouira.

Many of these objects are still searched for online under names such as Berber rugs, Berber craft or Moroccan decor. We prefer to use the proper name: Amazigh. Berber is a name given from the outside. Amazigh means: free person.

A living culture, not folklore

The Amazigh belong to one of the oldest living cultures of North Africa. Their roots reach back into very ancient layers of human presence in this land. A culture does not appear all at once. It grows out of living with land, water, stone, animals, fire, seasons, language, symbols and transmission.

What was first needed in order to live later became craft. What received meaning became symbol. What was passed on became culture.

You can see this culture in rugs, in the Tifinagh script, in the yaz sign , in earthen architecture, tadelakt, woodwork, copper, ceramics, silverwork, music, stories and hospitality. Not as something from the past, but as something that is still alive.

What Morocco Home offers

Morocco Home gathers and sells carefully chosen pieces from Amazigh craftsmanship and the broader Moroccan craft culture.

  • Handwoven Amazigh rugs, often still referred to as Berber rugs.
  • Textiles, cushions and interior fabrics with ancient patterns.
  • Woodwork, poufs, small furniture and distinctive armchairs.
  • Ceramics, pottery, copperwork and decorative objects.
  • Paintings, sculptures, fossils and unique pieces for homes and interiors with character.

We do not choose everything. A piece must have something. Beauty, strength, simplicity, material, good proportions, handwork, presence. It must be able to carry a space or soften it. It must be right.

For interiors that are allowed to live

A good interior is not only beautiful. It breathes. It needs calm, warmth, rhythm, individuality and sometimes a little courage.

Why Morocco Home is needed

Moroccan craftsmanship is admired everywhere. People love buying rugs, poufs, ceramics, lamps, bowls and objects from Morocco. But the makers themselves often live on a low and uncertain income.

Because of this, many young people lose faith in their own craft traditions. Not because these traditions have no value, but because too little of that value returns to them.

Morocco Home wants to do something practical about this.

Makers must be able to live from what they make. Their work must become visible, well described, well photographed, well sold and more fairly valued. Not as souvenir. Not as folklore. But as living heritage with economic meaning.

We call this a living heritage economy: a bridge between makers in Morocco and people in Europe who want to discover their work, value it, buy it and carry it forward.

Help us to build

Morocco Home is born. Now it needs to be fed.

In this first phase we are building the webshop, photography, product descriptions, translations, transport, promotion, displays and visibility. This is the practical work behind the beauty.

Those who wish to contribute help make Amazigh artisans more visible and bring their work to new buyers.

An Amazigh culture house in Essaouira

In the longer term, Morocco Home wants to build an Amazigh culture house in Essaouira. Not a museum about a vanished world, but a living house where craft, art, interiors, history, encounter and daily life come together.

A place where visitors can experience how rich, warm, refined and contemporary the lifestyle rooted in Amazigh culture can be.

A house where everything you see remains connected to the people who made it.

The Morocco Home team

Who are we?

Morocco Home was born from the collaboration between:

Arjen Luijendijk

Utrecht (NL)

Hassna Absir 

Essaouira (MAR)

Margot Schlösser

Ariège (FR)

We work in trust, rhythm, and reciprocity.
Not to save, improve, or preserve. But to make space for what already lives.

Discover new Horizons

Everything we bring comes directly from the people who create it. And the value remains where it should remain:

in families, villages, and the culture that carries it.

Soon


Our first collection will appear step by step.
Not by season.
Not by catalogue.
But as things are born:
one object, one story, one encounter at a time.
