Hidden away in the Medina, Riad Yima is a spectacular labour of love that took three years to complete, with every detail very carefully made and constructed by the artist’s hand.
The artiste Hassan Hajjaj acquired an old house in Marrakesh, gutted and rebuilt it into a jewel riad which is transformed recently into Boutique Gallery and Tea room, The Riad features his artwork, furniture design and products.
Fusing east and west, his works range from witty photos of Arab life to recycled furniture made from African advertising signs.
Hajjaj’s work encompasses a wide range of techniques and fields.
