Journal

Sharing the same vision and values, we teamed up as friends — Joko in old-Japanese — and started an online journal to portray inspiring places, objects and people. An initiative that naturally led us towards the beginning of Studio Joko.

Jnane Tamsna, Marrakech

Beyond the dusty red city walls of Marrakech, a prominent yellow coloured guest house is hiding out. Set on nine acres of landscaped palm-dotted gardens, Jnane Tamsna is the ultimate sense of colour, space and light.

Marrakech, Morocco

“There are certain places on the surface of the earth that possess more magic than others, and one of those places is Marrakech" - Paul Bowles

In the middle of the 11th century Marrakech consisted only of a fortress, the Kasbah, founded by an Amazigh tribe from the Atlas mountains. Brick by brick a city carrying a mythical sort of magic arises, with red-tinted houses that reflect the light like rose quartz gems. With this one underlying design principle named red sandstone, remarkable squares, gardens and mosques were build and Marrakech became the Red City.
