History
This circular wall piece reflects the strength and elegance of Moroccan craftsmanship. The pattern draws inspiration from the monumental architecture of Meknes, a 17th-century imperial city built under Sultan Moulay Ismail. Known for its massive gates, intricate ornamentation, and fortified city walls, Meknes stands as a testament to a remarkable era of artistry and ambition.
Design
The design features a twelve-fold radial composition, with pointed arches and stepped edges that echo the visual rhythm of carved stone and traditional zellij tilework, a Moroccan mosaic technique where hand-cut geometric tiles are arranged into complex, interlocking patterns. This bold geometry radiates outward from the centre, creating a sense of structure, energy, and balance within a single, unified form.
Crafting & Finishing
Digitally modelled for precision and crafted with premium wood PLA, each piece is carefully shaped and hand-finished to sharpen the clean lines and layered contours. Multiple protective coatings are applied to to preserve texture and deepen visual contrast, giving the surface both durability and refinement.
