Morocco's Art Deco Treasures

A blend of Western-style Art Deco and traditional Moorish motifs, Moroccan Art Deco remains one of the nation’s most distinctive and cherished architectural styles.

In the early 20th century, Morocco experienced a significant architectural and artistic transformation with the rise of Art Deco style.

Influenced by European Modernism and the country's own cultural heritage, Moroccan Art Deco emerged as a distinct and vibrant expression of the era. The style is characterized by sleek lines, geometric patterns, and ornate detailing, often incorporating traditional Moroccan motifs and materials.

Casablanca, in particular, emerged as a hotspot for Art Deco architecture between the world wars, with architects like Edmond Brion and Marius Boyer leaving their mark on the urban landscape. The city's bustling boulevards are lined with buildings adorned with Art Deco features, reflecting the cosmopolitan spirit of the time.
