Decor: Traditional Moroccan artisanal Skills Meet French Style
The beauty of traditional Moroccan artisanal skills is combined with French style to create a range of contemporary North African inspired linens, soft furnishings, and interior accessories, under the brand Scènes de lin. Based in Marrakech, Scènes de lin was created by designer, and textile industry veteran Anne-Marie Chaoui, who in 2000 opened the doors to a beautifully appointed showroom in the district of Gueliz.
Anne-Marie had relocated to Marrakech, inspired by the city and artisanal crafts of the city, and set up a local workshop working with highly skilled Moroccan artisans and craftsmen, in addition to employing the talents and traditional skills of home-based weavers and embroiderers, all working together to produce the Brand’s signature style of linens and interior products. Using high-quality materials, including linen, satin, flax, and taffeta, Scènes de lin’s product ranges feature exquisitely embroidered linens in beautiful colours that not only go into creating sophisticated soft furnishings, but are also used to upholster furniture pieces giving them a new lease of life.

The Brand has built up a reputation in Morocco for quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the chic sophisticated style of the products produced, resulting in many of the country’s hotels and riads turning to Scènes de lin for exclusively designed furnishings, as well as interior design services. Scènes de lin is a family affair; in 2012 Anne-Marie’s eldest son, Karim Chaoui, and his wife opened a Scènes de lin showroom in Paris; and are also seeking to expand the brand into Asia.
