  2012 Broadcast ‘Interiors’ on Paris Premiere – we discover Dar Kawa. Juin 2012 : l’émission Intérieurs sur Paris Première nous fait découvrir Dar Kawa.

Dar Kawa lies in the very heart of the medina, or old city, in the labyrinth of the bazaar, where Marrakesh has its roots, somewhere between the Place des Epices and Madrasa Ben Youssef. The neighborhood is still authentic, with a communal oven and baths.Dar Kawa dates from the early 17th century. It was restored [...]

The joys of dining: a delight to the body and mind, be it a refreshing lunch or a more elegant dinner. Art de la table et plaisirs gastronomiques pour un déjeuner rafraichissant ou un diner plus sophistiqué. A Dar Kawa la table est comme un théâtre, elle se pare de 1000 atours et se métamorphose [...]

I chose neutral tones and sober, contemporary comfort as the themes for the decor, with objects rendered to their ideal, imaginary precision. Dar Kawa is a home that has been reconsidered, redone, and reinvented with a palette ranging from sand to gray, and the demands I make on all my designs. J’ai réalisé la décoration [...]

The « Omani » Junior Suite consists of a sitting room, bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom. The textiles and linens are all one-of-a-kind pieces I made, from vintage fabrics and linens purchased second-hand at the Brussels Flea Market. Several photo series invite the viewer to reverie and travel: the shadow plays by Tania Panova, a V. Barkowski [...]

The Olmassi Junior Suite is located on the ground floor with a view on the patio. During summer heat waves, it is a delightful refuge, and it features a fireplace for cozy winter nesting, as well as a separate bathroom and walk-in closet and V. Barkowski linens. Most of the artwork on display was made [...]

The four bedrooms and their respective bathrooms are connected to a central patio, a well of light providing a murmur of music. Four orange trees contribute greenery, fragrance, and cheer. Dar Kawa bends to the desires of the seasons, cozy and familiar to the guest. In the summertime, seek relief on the ground floor; in [...]

I chose to present this cornucopia of pictures taken at Dar Kawa in the form of a mosaic. Intuitively, I associate the mosaic with the way the memory operates. Objects and impressions blend together on the same wavelength. Together, they compose a delicious bath. They immerse us in a combination of shapes, aromas, savors, textures, [...]

Tania and I met by accident. The Moroccans would call it “mektoub” : It is foreordained –  and the Russians, “soudba” – “destiny” . By chance, Tania came to Marrakesh for a residency at the Sahart Foundation. At the time, she was mainly painting and making collages, and working a little with photography. She showed me [...]

Sara is a good friend. We’ve known each other for several years. She’s a New Yorker. At one time, she owned an emblematic shop, “Pastec,” where she sold Mia Zia right after I launched the brand. She also carried accessories from Luisa Cevese, Miller et Bertaux, Isabelle Baines, and all sorts of other unique collections [...]

Dar Kawa is an invitation and return to simplicity, the purity of natural fibers and lifestyles, treading lightly on the earth. The type of “interior care” that is essential, today. Text and photos: Solenne Jolivet. Dar Kawa invite et revient à l’essentiel, privilégiant les matières naturelles, la simplicité; à l’heure actuelle on ne peut qu’encourager [...]
