It all starts in Marrakech
Some colors adorn.
Others tell a story.
Majorelle Blue is one of those colors instantly recognizable. Deep, luminous, and intensely vibrant, it is today one of the most famous symbols of Marrakech and the Moroccan art of living.
At Chabi Chic, this color runs through several of our collections as a tribute to our city, its heritage, and the craftsmanship of the artisans who perpetuate this cultural richness.
The birth of a unique color
The story begins in 1917, when French painter Jacques Majorelle discovered Marrakech.
Captivated by the city's exceptional light, its souks, its gardens, its natural pigments, and its architecture, he found an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
A few years later, he acquired a plot of land at the gates of the palm grove where he built his Art Deco-style villa-studio. It was there that he conceived a completely new shade of blue.
Observing the pigments of Moroccan markets, zelliges, Berber textiles, and light-bathed landscapes, he developed a deep and vibrant color that enhanced his garden.
In 1937, this shade was officially registered under the name Majorelle Blue.
A Symbol of Moroccan Art and Design
Over the decades, Majorelle Blue has become much more than a paint color.
It represents the soul of Marrakech.
Its intensity, depth, and luminosity evoke Moroccan gardens, artisan workshops, traditional riads, and the vibrant energy of the Red City.
Designers, artists, architects, and interior decorators around the world continue to draw inspiration from this iconic Moroccan blue.
