His journey

From passion
to vocation

Frederic arrived in Morocco over two decades ago, drawn by the extraordinary richness of its handicraft traditions. What began as a personal fascination became a lifelong vocation — and eventually, a company.

With an unmatched network of workshops, cooperatives, and artisan families built over 25 years, Frederic has helped some of the world's most recognized home and lifestyle brands — including Williams-Sonoma, Anthropologie, and Arhaus — discover, develop, and deliver Moroccan-made products that sell.

His approach is rooted in deep respect for Morocco's craft heritage, a commitment to fair and transparent business practices, and an obsessive attention to quality at every stage of the supply chain.

“Morocco’s artisans are among the most skilled in the world. My job is simply to make sure the world knows it.”

Philosophy

Three principles.
One mission.

01

Craft heritage

Deep respect for Morocco's millennia-old artisan traditions — from tadelakt plasterwork to hand-knotted berber rugs.

02

Fair practices

Transparent pricing, fair wages, and long-term relationships with cooperatives and family workshops across the kingdom.

03

Quality obsession

Every piece passes through rigorous hands-on quality control before it ever leaves Morocco.
