About Us

Rooted in Marrakesh. Shaped by generations of artisan skill.

Our Story

Moroccan Furniture NYC began with founder Abdel Elanbassi’s connection to the artisans of Marrakesh. Growing up in the old walled medina, he played in the winding streets and souks, but some of his strongest memories come from his grandfather’s leather workshop.

There, Abdel handled the tools and watched his grandfather craft round leather poufs, pointed babouche slippers and traditional leather goods. At home, his mother hand-embroidered slippers for the souk, while his grandmother hand-loomed rugs and kilim pillows with wool from Morocco’s Atlas Mountain villages and materials gathered in Rahba Kedima square.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Those early experiences continue to shape Abdel’s appreciation for Moroccan leather, embroidery, carpets and textiles. Moroccan Furniture NYC connects customers with the culture, spirit and skill behind these pieces, bringing traditional handwork into modern interiors.

Many pieces are sourced directly from artisan families whose skills have passed through generations. Natural materials, handwork and individual details give each piece its character.
