Far from ordinary
Designed & handmade in Marrakech
Made by Hand with Heart in Marrakech.
On the road to the Atlas Mountains at the far reach of Marrakech rests a humble village where a small community of women handcraft our crochet pendant lights in their homes. Crochet is a craft passed on through generations of women in this village. They typically crochet blankets and clothing for their own use, as well as scull caps, called taqiyah, that are worn by many Moroccan men.
To reflect their origin, the sculptural shapes of the Malika pendants are inspired by objects used in daily Moroccan life, like tagines, baskets and pots. 'Malika' is the name of the beautiful woman that made our very first crochet pendant.
Our crochet lights are handcrafted by a community of women in a small village on the outskirts of Marrakech. Making our products gives these women the opportunity to extend their skills and the potential to generate much-needed additional income. The benefits are clearly much more than just financial, as their sense of purpose, hope for the future, and connection to a bigger world has also grown. As the demand for our crocheted lights has grown, we have been able to train more women so that the benefits to the community reach even further. It is quite amazing to see our crocheted lamps, created in a humble village in Morocco, hanging in designer hotels, restaurants and homes around the world.
16 Colors
Each crochet pendant is handmade using silky viscose 'kitan' thread, a textile traditionally used to embellish Moroccan Kaftans.
Our current colour collection is inspired by the diversity of Morocco, from its earthy landscapes, vibrant cities, coastal villages, fragrant spices and dark desert night skies.
With 16 standard colours from which to choose, there is a colour or combination of colours, to suit almost any interior setting or style. Each model is available in either 'One Colour' or 'Two Colour' formats. With the Two Colour format, the second colour is in the bottom section starting just below the lowest ring.
Custom colours may also be available upon request.
