Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Voici un ouvrage en forme d'invitation à la découverte de la beauté des intérieurs marocains dans toute leur diversité : splendeur des palais de la médina de Marrakech, charme des maisons troglodytes des pêcheurs de Sidi Moussa d'Aglou, maisons en pisé des villages du Sud. À travers de remarquables reportages resituant quarante lieux d'habitation dans leur site géographique, c'est tout à la fois l'art de vivre et l'art architectural marocains qu'il nous est donné d'apprécier ici. Chaque cadre de vie est superbement photographié et introduit par un court texte sur page dorée. Une longue préface donne l'assise historique, géographique, architecturale et culturelle nécessaire à l'ouvrage présenté en trois langues : français, anglais et espagnol. --Astrid Schilling

gorgeous and inspiring, May 26 2000
By "readertoo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moroccan Interiors (Hardcover)
The first time I saw this book I couldn't stop looking at it. I was entirely engrossed with the beauty of the interiors, the use of color, texture and interior architecture in these homes. In a word...MESMERIZED! I should say that the interior design in this book is not my 'style'. It doesn't matter in the least. I have integrated, and plan to integrate, many of the ideas into my own home (Colonial - which couldn't be more different) and have, and will, simply do it in my own way. To add to my point I have shown this book to my mother-in-law who is extremely traditional and conservative in her tastes and she was delighted and inspired. I showed it to my sister, who's taste run to the super modern Italian leather look, and she loved it and plans to use some of the ideas for color in her own home. I showed this to another friend who's tastes are essentially 'the cottage look' (she is very good at it) and she was thrilled with the wealth of ideas she obtained. This book can be used as the ultimate coffee table book or the launching pad for new ideas for decorating your own home. Opening this book is like entering a dream world, where magic and graceful living really do exist.

contents, May 26 2000
By "readertoo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moroccan Interiors (Hardcover)
I would like to add to my previous reveiw some more practical notes on the contents of the book. The book is seperated into different regions and cities of Morocco and almost all the homes featured are renovations of delightful, but previously run down, Moroccan palaces and estates. In all but one home the owners are Europeans who have settled, or reside much of the year, in Morocco. This is important because, until recently, the Moroccans themselves weren't much interested in preserving thier architectural history, preferring to knock down old buildings and replace them with new ones. Neither were they much interested in preserving thier own style. The Europeans however were devoted to preserving both and created a movement, over time, within the country for Moroccans to begin to do the same. Each home featured reveals the owners deep love for Morocco and for its history. The photographs are lush and beautiful, and the wealth of ideas for interior design and architecture are matched by few books available today.
