Said Guihia - moroccan designer

Swedish Wood engaged nine Moroccan designers in creating furniture on the theme of ‘Swedish wood meets Moroccan creativity and woodworking tradition’. The study trip is the next step in inspiring North African designers to use Swedish wood in more ways.

 

I have designed decorative pieces with geometric features that draw on Moroccan culture. The idea is to add aesthetic value to the natural and organic wood, which is combined with stainless steel and a few layers of white paint.
