Marrakech: Studio visits

We spent a day visiting some local artisans around Marrakech. It was another fabulous day meeting some great people making beautiful things. 

We did a work session at one of the designers home studio. 

Lunch time! Can you believe this setting! I was the most annoying lunch guest ever just gushing over every detail.  And the food... oh it was so good!

Marrakech: Jardin Majorelle

Jardin Majorelle - 

Jacques Majorelle created this garden in Marrakech. It later was owned by Yves St Laurent.  It was really beautiful and I am glad we took the time to see it.

The garden is famous for this cobalt blue. It's a real nice shade of blue. Quite stunning. 

Posters Yves St Laurent sends out every year to friends and fam. I want to do this.

Studio visits in Cape Town

Working in Cape Town was a real pleasure. We were set up with many local designers and artists. The highlight of the days was visiting all the studios! I love studio spaces! Day dreaming of having my own studio one day. Anybody wanna share a studio space with me? 

We met with Heath Nash. This guy is so talented and a recycled material genius. And I have always loved his "it's beautiful here" coat racks. I was planning on buying a coat rack when we went back but we never did. Super bummed, although I dont know how I would have carried it home. He had so many great materials in his space it was fun to chat with him and hopefully we can do something together.
