Souk in the City is the latest venture by Omar Majdi, with interiors by Baxter Creative. It blends the allure of Morocco with the clean design that is demanded of Sydney’s design savvy diners. A unique opportunity for design director Charles Prior of Baxter Creative, this project took Charles to the heart of Marrakech (presumably with a big suitcase) for an extraordinary experience sourcing, buying and commissioning work from some of the very best artisans. Charles commissioned all of the feature lighting throughout the restaurant, developing designs based on examples seen in some of the oldest buildings in Marrakech.
