A photographic tour of an exceptional villa in Tangier with a special focus of its museum-worthy collections of Morrocan artworks and objects.
Saturated colors, intricate patterns, striking architecture: writer Umberto Pasti’s house and garden in Tangier is the ultimate example of a well-curated Moroccan villa, filled with museum-quality pieces furniture, luminous textiles, rare tiles and ceramics, and other objets d’art worthy of a private museum. Set in a lush garden, the house offers glimpses of the serene landscapes and fountains through windows, archways and loggias, as well as Pasti’s scholarly collection of tiles and rare textiles from Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe. Also on display are highly crafted wooden objects that Pasti has rescued from obscurity and destruction.
With evocative text and gorgeous specially commissioned photographs, this book offers a tour through one of the loveliest homes in Tangier, bringing to life the sophisticated fusion of Morocco’s multicultural blend of cultures. Anyone interested in interior design and scholarly collecting will be inspired by the masterful photographs of this gracious home and its masterful collection.

on the one hand the super coordinated clean well designed homes are always fun to see and build and play in, but there's a special place in my heart for homes where some things just don't really go together, or are outdated not because it's a retro theme but because sometimes people hold onto or inherit things, or express personal taste that wouldn't be considered trendy or fashionable. I like putting weird/stupid little items in builds that have a "we saw this on a vacation and thought it was so funny that we bought it and now it lives in our kitchen forever" or "this lamp belonged to grandma and we don't have the heart to throw it out" feel.

🌺Georgie has really nice skin because of all the sheep lanolin
9/10, yes! he loves it! there are many benefits to living with sheep! the only reason it isnt 10/10 is he does lots of manual labor & not even all the sheep in the world can make his skin less calloused!

one of the most least-important, yet favorite things about the witcher for me is that i initially felt the usage of latin to add emphasize in the characters' dialogue was, if you'll forgive me, pretentious, in a word, and strange outside of the mouths of characters who were intellectuals and scholars.
until i began to read interviews with sapkowski, and a little bit of his other writing, during which i realized, no, he just talks like that, peppering in aphorisms, sayings, and phrases in latin and other languages. and then the habit became less pretentious to me and, instead, endearing, as it made me realize that the characters, in fact speaking in the altered voice of their author, haven't been altered, but rather are the result of a natural flow of thought and storywriting...
