Orientalist: Koutoubia Candle

Description

The Koutoubia, a 12th-century example of Almohad architecture, stands as a symbol of Marrakech, overlooking the medina and surrounded by palm trees. Its sublimated glass allows the flame to illuminate the design, evoking the charm of orientalist art. Available also as a 500 ml diffuser, the collection reflects the Moroccan atmosphere, with scents of incense, Atlas cedar, and leather reminiscent of the city’s souks.

Actions@Village and The Orientalist by Serge Anton

The Orientalist by Serge Anton collection combines archival photographs of Essaouira with new images of the Koutoubia and the kasbahs of Skoura, inspired by orientalist paintings. Proceeds from the collection support Actions@Village, a Belgian non-profit founded in 2017 by Fatima Zohra Khayar and Mohammed El Mouedden, which focuses on improving education and health for children in rural Morocco, particularly in the High and Middle Atlas regions. A portion of sales funds the construction of sanitary facilities for schools, encouraging girls to pursue education. The collection, featuring Serge Anton’s photographic artistry, symbolises the connection between cultural heritage and meaningful change.
