Design Explore Marrakech
April 24, 2013
I was hugely privileged to be asked by the British Council to be part of their Design Explore Program which they ran in Marrakesh just a few weeks ago. Design Explore was a two week course which aims to offer 10 young, aspiring Moroccan designers a chance to develop their skills and knowledge of contemporary product design and to explore ideas of cultural identity.
And what a great bunch of designers they were, truly amazing. Watch this space for more info on them and the results.
It was also my first time in Marrakesh and I absolutely LOVE the city and the people. Here are a few pictures I took.

It wasn’t all work work work. At Jardin Mojorelle.
Obviously a bit of shopping had to be done. Our “Sales Assistant” introduced himself as Mustafa CousCous! Sure!!!!
Ahhh, The Square!!
