I've always loved the geometric floral patterns and colour schemes found in the zellige tiles of Marrocco. They have something wonderfully modern about them, the colours somehow seem almost hand-made and they remind me of the insides of glass paperweights. I love the way also that I am reminded of Venice - something remarkable about the way the two cities resemble each other. The fortuny influence, glass lanterns, little cobbled streets and the labyrinth of the Médina, the dark mysterious nature of the walled palaces and the highly decorated motifs. Both cities amaze me and inspire me so much!
