riad yima, not only the best damn design riad in marrakech but a riad shop that will wow the world’s best gypsets too. artist, designer and all-round design guru – hassan hajjaj of “andy wahloo” fame – (a great little bar in paris) has created a completely relaxed yet graphically stimulating place to lay your head in marrakech. hassan’s own screenprints, kaftans, great tinware and other smart recycled homewares adorn all three floors. the best of traditional moroccan design with a twist, and you can ponder the wares whilst sipping your morning tea a la menthe. hassan’s store situated on london’s hip and happening calvert avenue, arnold circus (find leilas and rochelle canteen here too – both wonderful!) in east london showcases his truly original, sharp + considered style. get there to buy his wares. hot + hedonistic courtesy of hassan hajjaj. super says it all.
