My story
When I first visited Morocco I quickly fell in love with it's deep connection to tradition, artisanship, and the land. As I wandered through the vibrant markets and ancient streets, I was captivated by the beauty of handcrafted items—each piece telling its own unique story. What struck me most was the connection between these objects and the natural materials used to create them. From stone to wood, clay to woven fibres, each item felt like a piece of the earth itself, and I began to understand how deeply our surroundings influence our well-being.
I learned to embrace the beauty of imperfections. The handmade nature of these pieces—often marked by subtle variations—added to their charm and authenticity. I came to realize that these imperfections, far from being something to hide, are what make each item special. They reflect the hands and hearts that crafted them, and remind us that perfection is not found in uniformity, but in the unique qualities of each piece.
This experience sparked a profound shift in the way I view interior spaces. I began to understand that our homes should be more than just places to live—they should be sanctuaries, grounded in the natural world. I discovered that the materials we choose to surround ourselves with—whether it’s the raw beauty of stone, the warmth of wood, or the texture of woven textiles—have a powerful effect on our mental and emotional well-being. There is a deep connection between our environment and our state of mind. When we fill our spaces with natural, meaningful items, we create an atmosphere that is calming, restorative, and aligned with the rhythms of the earth.
I believe that living closer to nature is essential for creating a balanced, mindful life. In a world where we are becoming increasingly disconnected from the land, it is through surrounding ourselves with these tangible connections to the earth that we can find peace, calm, and grounding in our daily lives.
