Handmade, assembly without nails or screws
2009
One look at this bookcase and you will recognize it as perfectly Moroccan, thanks to its unique shape which is internationally recognizable as zellige -- the terra cotta enamel tiles most commonly used in Moroccan mosaics. The traditional shape provides plenty of surfaces that can be used functionally as shelves. Meanwhile, its industrial design offers a simplified assembly process that helps save space when transporting or storing the bookcase.

This kettle adopts the design of a traditional Moroccan tea kettle while incorporating the industrial technique of extrusion to supersize its volume and make it even more useful.
The opposition of these two universes gathered in one object raises the issue of the ambivalent link that can exist between artisan and industrialist.
