Laurence Leenaert is an artist with a big heart and an obsession with design. Following a trip to the Moroccan desert, she promptly decided to ship herself and her sewing machine off to launch her own lifestyle brand in Marrakech. It was a bold move, but Leenaert’s inspired designs and now thriving studio have proved the decision was a brilliant one. Her unique modernist designs, which show the influence of Picasso, are now realised in textiles, rugs, leatherwork, ceramics, kimonos, sandals and multi-media artworks, all handmade in and around Marrakech. The ceramics with their joyful colours and sculptural forms are particularly sought after.
