Town, craft, material, colour — the same 204 pieces, entered from four sides. Twenty-three towns, the workshops we buy from, and the stories we have written about them. Nothing here is decorative geography.
The size of a dot is the number of pieces we hold from that town. Hollow dots are towns we have written about, before the first piece arrived.

No palette was chosen. Each field takes its colour from what stands on the plate — which is why the house colour is a spice, and why ivory is never used as a frame.
Beldi green
#2F6B54
The green of the recycled bottle. It is in the glass, not on it.
Saffron
#D98324
Taliouine, picked at dawn. The house colour: it is a spice, not a paint.
Gold
#C9A227
Brass before the silver goes on — the gold of the Fès tea service.
Terracotta
#A95B33
Oued Laou and Marrakech. Unglazed clay, the colour it is fired to.
Silver plate
#8A9AA8
Fès. Nickel below, silver above — the cooler end of the tea service.
Bronze
#8C6A3F
Cast and left to darken — the door latch, the candlestick. Marrakech.
Thuya
#6E4B2A
Essaouira. Root wood, warm to the hand, darker with use.
Ivory
#FBF8F3
The enamel of the Safi workshops. On the plate, never as a frame.
Charcoal
#23241E
The ink of the register, and the ground of this page.
Henna
#C24E3A
Tazarine. Leaves dried and milled — the colour arrives on the skin.
Why it matters
A town on the label is a promise that can be checked
Every product page carries its origin, and every origin leads back here. Twenty-three towns, four axes, nineteen years of the same routes — and no piece in the register without one.
