This iconic object transcends trends and stands out as a timeless piece, blending aesthetics and tradition in your home.
Carefully crafted by Moroccan artisans using time-honored techniques, each Khmissa is handmade, making every piece unique. The materials used vary according to local tastes and traditions: finely engraved metal, wood carved with floral motifs, or ceramic decorated with arabesque symbols.
