Meet the makers

One of the things that makes El Fenn so special is the people behind it. From the ceramics on the table to the lanterns overhead, every detail has been created by artisans whose work has become part of the hotel's identity. As part of our residency, we wanted to shine a light on the makers behind the pieces.

Poterie Serghini

Ceramics crafted by hand

Every plate throughout the residency has been handcrafted by Poterie Serghini, one of Morocco's most respected ceramic workshops.

Based in Fes, the family-run atelier has been preserving traditional pottery techniques for generations. Each piece is shaped, glazed and painted by hand, meaning no two are ever exactly alike. That individuality is part of what drew us to their work. Every plate carries subtle differences, celebrating the beauty of craftsmanship rather than uniformity.

Sahana

Embroidery that keeps tradition alive

Our exclusive El Fenn × Broadwick Soho collection was created in partnership with Sahana, founded by Valerie di Franco.

Working alongside a women's artisan collective in Marrakech, Sahana champions traditional Moroccan embroidery, including the intricate Randa stitch. Valerie often speaks about her work as a way of preserving these techniques, ensuring generations of craftsmanship continue to thrive while creating meaningful employment within local communities.

The result is a collection that celebrates both Marrakech and Soho through colour, illustration and hand embroidery.

Aterio Home

Contemporary craftsmanship

The bold striped side tables throughout the residency, alongside the decorative boxes found in our suites, were created by Aterio Home.

Founded by interior designer Mona Boubekeur, the studio works with skilled artisans to produce handcrafted furniture and objects in resin, bone, brass and mother-of-pearl. Known for glossy finishes and geometric forms, every piece balances contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship.

Bo-Luminaire

One of El Fenn's most recognisable design details is its red and white striped lanterns, handcrafted by Bo-Luminaire in Marrakech's Sidi Ghanem district. Working from the city's renowned design quarter, the atelier creates bespoke lighting that combines traditional Moroccan metalworking with contemporary design. For our El Fenn residency, those iconic lanterns have travelled from Marrakech to Soho, filling Flute with the same warm glow and unmistakable character that has become synonymous with El Fenn.

Le Verre Beldi

Every glass at our El Fenn residency has been handcrafted by Le Verre Beldi, a workshop preserving one of Morocco's most iconic craft traditions. A familiar sight in homes and cafés across the country, Beldi glass has been made since the 1940s, with each piece mouth-blown from 100% recycled glass before being hand-cut and finished by skilled artisans in Marrakech. In 2013, when Morocco's last remaining glassworks closed, Le Verre Beldi revived production, ensuring generations of craftsmanship would continue.
