Knowledge and Authenticity
The story of Moroccan Bazaar is the story of our family. Haj Abdeslam Bennani, who sowed the seeds of the company 80 years ago. Boubker, who expanded his father’s business to London. Boubker’s wife Hanane (Haja), who has become a leading figure to her nurtured network of craftsmen. And a third generation – Simo, Mojo and Adnan, who manage the company between Morocco and the UK. The result is an extraordinary accumulation of diverse specialist knowledge. The joy of Moroccan crafts is that they have grown out of a uniquely rich culture created by centuries of trade and migration, so authenticity comes with a considerable degree of depth and flexibility.

Reliability at scale
The beating heart of Moroccan Bazaar is the 10,000 sq ft lighting workshop that we own and operate in the historical city of Marrakech. Here we employ over 100 master artisans – each a celebrated specialist in his particular craft. We have access to over a thousand gifted artisans in more than a dozen workshops across Morocco, supported by a host of staff across areas such as management, product design, 3D modelling, CAD draughtsmen, consultancy, logistics, quality control, materials, scale, compliance, installation and customer service. The result is a manufacturing base that no other company in Morocco can match in terms of its breadth, scale, efficiency and quality.
We have a long history of successful completed projects at some of the most prestigious hotels, palaces and private residences across the world. You can view some of these here.

Quality and Uniqueness
We offer bespoke design and manufacturing to clients who wish to commission unique pieces. That something is one of a kind and important to many of our clients. Because of the techniques employed, the individuality extends from the design to the manufacture. Faithful to traditions of their trade, the talented maalem (master craftsmen) in our workshops practice their crafts exclusively by hand to guarantee that every item we make is authentic and characterful, crafted to perfection.
Some specialise in intricate pattern design, others in carving – using the exacting techniques of precision jewellery making. Some work the sheets of metal into shape, others assemble them into breath-taking structures of varied shapes and sizes. Yet more specialise in dressing, applying the most beautiful patinas and hand engraving each of the light pieces. Handmade pieces create a human touch that cannot be replicated by machines. Each is one of its kind.

Modernity and innovation
We have lived our lives fuelled by a passion for our Moroccan heritage, however, the company we have created now thrives by being steeped in the business practices and design sensibilities of the modern world. Our team of designers, consultants and production specialists support with the development of concepts – from sketches, technical drawings and 3D rendering, to materials sampling and prototypes.
