MAD ABOUT MARRAKESH - bazaar.town

We love the comforts of modern urban living, but the beauty of the desert calls us. And with the longer, brighter, and warmer days ahead to enjoy the sun we are ready to embrace the art of outdoor living, inside. The new Summer collection from H&M Home with its blend of bright colors and vibrant prints can transform a room into a magical dwelling. The sandy tones and natural materials mirror the textures and landscapes of Morocco’s diverse scenery.

The iconic terraced pools can be seen in the colorful palette of garden greens, swimming pool blues and pops of pink, yellow and orange. The neutral tones such as sand, white and black are representatives of the desert camps. It is obvious that the design team took inspiration and re-interpreted to create such a put-together collection. Palm trees and exotic birds prints are key this season and create a very summery setting together with decorative objects with the shape of shells or leaves. Brass and colored glass continue to be important and create an interesting mix together with natural materials such as rattan, jute, straw and linen.

“The Moroccan landscape and the architecture of Marrakesh, with the natural tones of the desert and the colors of the city, were big sources of inspiration for our summer styles. Two major style directions dominate – one is bursting with energy with bright colors, vibrant prints and sophisticated details while the other is more subtle and casual with sandy tones, natural materials and black details,” says Evelina Kravaev Söderberg, Head of Design and Creative at H&M HOME.
