In this week's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Sana Benzaitar, the founder and visionary behind Studio Sana Benzaitar in Marrakech. Sana's work is a poetic blend of ancestral weaving traditions and contemporary design, rooted deeply in her Moroccan heritage and shaped by her global perspective.
In this conversation, we talk about Sana growing up in the souk surrounded by artisans, the stories woven into each of her rugs, the power of women's hands in craft, and how design can bridge culture, history, and story.
Sana shares her journey of returning to Morocco to reclaim and elevate the artistry of her roots, and how she's shifting the narrative around Moroccan craftsmanship one thread at a time.
