With its intoxicating mix of Berber, Arab, Spanish and French Art Deco styles influencing homes and hotels, Morocco may be the birthplace of fusion.
Morocco has been a prime destination for Westerners since before the turn of the last century and as travellers succumb to its charms and make it their home, they add their own styles to the mix - respecting the roots of Moroccan design, yet altering it in subtle ways.
Side by side with gorgeous photographs by Jean Cazals, Susan Sully takes readers on an unprecedented tour through private homes, stylish resorts and intimate guest-houses. New Moroccan Style reveals four emerging trends in Morocco's world of design. Each represents a different aesthetic - whether it be the clean, elegant lines of Minimalism or the mingling of sinuous Asian and Islamic notes - yet all are distinctly Moroccan.
Here are traditional crafts and contemporary arts, recipes and tips for entertaining Moroccan-style and even a comprehensive source guide for travellers and shoppers. A treasure trove of ideas and images, New Moroccan Style is a treat for the eyes and the imagination by a fresh new voice in design.
Susan Sully lectures frequently on the subject of regional design and has contributed articles on architecture, decorative arts and lifetyles to the New York Times and Art and Antiques. Among her previous books are Savannah Style and Charleston Style. Jean Cazals' work has appeared regularly in Elle, Food Illustrated, GQ, Vogue Entertainment and Travel, among many other publications. Meryanne Loum-Martin is the proprietor of several resort properties and a home design boutique, gallery and restaurant in Marrakech
