Jacques Garcia
Jacques Garcia is a French interior designer known for his sumptuous, historically-informed interiors. His work includes the Hôtel Costes in Paris, the Fouquet's restaurant, and numerous private residences.
Morocco Connection
Garcia purchased and restored Dar el-Sadaka, a Moorish palace in Marrakech, creating one of the city's most photographed interiors. His approach in Morocco blends French decorative arts tradition with Moroccan materiality — he commissions local artisans for zellige, tadelakt, and carved plaster while layering in European antiques and Oriental textiles. His Marrakech work demonstrates that Moroccan craft can hold its own against the most refined European decorative traditions.
