La Mamounia
Marrakech, Maroc
Interior Architecture and Design: Jouin-Manku Studio
La Mamounia is one hundred years old, but it has never felt so young, lively, modern, and joyful. With a touch of magic and a great deal of talent, the Jouin-Manku duo has reinvented the spaces to convey the eternal, timeless beauty of the Grande Dame of Marrakech and celebrate its elegance and refinement.
For this exceptional venue, Brossier Saderne renewed its collaboration with the designers at the Jouin-Manku Studio, developing and crafting a number of luminaires imagined by their team. Together with Voyons Voir, the lighting design agency, lighting scenarios were defined to shape the spaces and highlight the materials, offering Brossier Saderne a new opportunity to demonstrate its ability to produce lighting that combines a rigorous technical approach, manufacturing expertise, and advanced technology.
Floor lanterns can be found throughout the palace. Now iconic of La Mamounia, they are crafted from finely perforated golden metal sheets with a stylized moucharabieh pattern, paired with textured glass. These lanterns also come in wall and pendant light versions.
Two models of autonomous and rechargeable nomad lamps in glass and brass were developed for the restaurant tables. The finesse of the cut metal, the opalescent quality, and the faceting of the glass also result in subtle plays of light and shadow that delight the eye.
In the Asian restaurant, with its more muted ambience, generous chandeliers made of brass-finish metal and stretched linen voile diffuse the lighting. Elsewhere, floor lamps also combine brass structures with stretched linen voile, featuring a beautiful hexagonal marble detail at the base.
In the ultra-confidential darkness of the “Churchill” bar, the bar lamps create floating points of light. Each is composed of a block of frosted glass highlighted with emerald green, set in brushed gold-finish metal. In the garden, the lanterns of the tents feature an aged brass finish and a red glass cabochon, casting a more mysterious, enchanting light as evening falls.
