With its intoxicating design mix of Berber, Arab, Spanish and Art Deco styles, Morocco could well be called the birthplace of fusion - and it continues to absorb design influences from the West. In New Moroccan Style, now available in paperback, Susan Sully takes readers on a lavishly illustrated tour through some of Morocco's private homes, stylish resorts and intimate guest-houses. We visit Dar Tamsna, the epitome of Moroccan fusion, and a riad that is a meditation in grey and white. Orientalism reigns in a village in a date palm grove, while an old stone house outside Essaouira has been transformed into a sensually rustic retreat. Sully catalogues both traditional and contemporary arts and crafts, to show readers how to introduce the beauty and spirit of Morocco into their home decor. Complementing the houses are recipes and tips for entertaining Moroccan-style, as well as a comprehensive source guide for travellers and shoppers. A treasure trove of ideas and images, here is a treat for the eyes, palate and imagination brought to life by a fresh voice in design.

Morocco has long been a mythic land, firmly rooted in the European colonial imagination. For more than a century it has been appropriated by travellers, explorers, writers and artists. It is just these images and imaginings that are now being reconstructed for nostalgic consumption. In Moroccan Dreams, Claudio Minca examines this aestheticised re-enactment of the colonial, exploring the ways in which Moroccans themselves have become complicit in the re-writing of their homes and lives. Richly illustrated, the book provides a fascinating journey that will engage and delight all those enamoured of Morocco and its extraordinary geographies.
