Defining Moroccan Style

 

Moroccan style is about comfort and easy living inspired by the outdoors. It's colors and designs come from a varied ethnic history influenced by the Berber culture, French Colonials, and Islam. Hallmarks of Moroccan style include large lanterns, lush fabrics, and colorful ceramics.

I love the look and feel of the products listed in this lens and hope you will be inspired to add some Moroccan flair to your home!

ALL proceeds from this page are now going to the Mission to Morocco Fund~raiser drive!

A Very Brief Introduction to Morocco 

Morocco is an independent country on the coast of North Africa, formerly a French colony. Throughout history many cultures have left their mark on the nation's native Berber population, influencing local food, music, arts and of course design.

The mini-map at right shows the distribution of ethnic/language groups in Morocco, with the dark gold representing Arabic, the orange Berber, and the pale gold areas of mixed influence.

Just as you have said "cultures have left their mark on the nation's native Berber population", Morroco, in turn, has done the same. The influence in southern Spain is incredible! The colours are so rich and warm and the architecture is awesome. It makes one conjure up images of times long past. Nice lens.

About CrypticFragments

I am an author and artist who loves travel. I turned forty in August 2008 and feel like my life has just begun! I'm going back to college in 2009 to study ancient history and related subjects with the goal of participating in international volunteer organizations to help women and children in oppressed countries.

My lenses strive to bring together those passions. I love to create and promote regional art gift products, ethnic handicrafts, and design styles which appeal to me.

I also happen to love cats and gardening and ethnic foods.
