Sitting Room: Liza Bruce's Moroccan Home
The ground-floor sitting room of fashion designer Liza Bruce and artist Nicholas Alvis Vega’s home near Marrakech features a 1940s Yoruba armchair, decorative crosses, a carved-wood chair from Ethiopia, and a variety of West African accessories. Vega designed the fireplace surround based on the Moroccan eight-pointed star motif, and the walls are painted in a custom color Bruce and Vega call Passion Plum.
In a bath, the tub and fittings are in the shape of an eight-pointed Moroccan star, and the mirrored wall treatment is based on a traditional Moroccan Islamic design.
A Syrian oil lamp and a Mauritanian basket atop traditional Moroccan side tables painted in a harlequin pattern. The encrusted Moroccan mirrors leaning against the wall are gorgeous!
In the master bedroom, the carved-wood chairs are from Mali, the Moroccan rug is made of reeds, and the wood doors were crafted by local Moroccan artisans. Notice that the famous 8 pointed Moroccan Zellige star is present everywhere.
