Designer Maryam Montague and developer Mindy McIlroy are unabashed fans of Marrakesh’s iconic souks and bazaars but not the 4,000-plus miles it takes to get there. That’s why the two design lovers joined efforts for Atelier Nomads, a home décor pop-up boutique at 348 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables stocked with the rich textiles and artisanal crafts the African city is known for. “Many people have a mystical connotation of Marrakesh,” says Montague, “but you can’t always hop on a plane and cross the ocean, so this is an opportunity for it to come to you.”
Selections to peruse through will include pottery, baskets, sculptures, decorative tiles, hand-knotted rugs, hand-embroidered raffia chairs, and handcrafted furniture like communal tables, side tables, bar carts, and lanterns. Gifts will be covered with glassware, bespoke backgammon sets, candles, and home fragrances. The pop-up will run from June 5 to July 24.
