Tadelakt is one of the most exclusive and elegant wall coverings in the world. Originating in Morocco and traditionally applied by Maâlems (master craftsmen), Tadelakt is characterized by its continuous, smooth, mineral, glossy, and naturally waterproof finish.
With over 25 years of experience as a Master painter and plasterer trained in Germany, and after having worked with a Maâlem in Casablanca in 2006, I create authentic Tadelakt using natural lime, mineral pigments and traditional techniques, combined with German precision and Mediterranean aesthetics.
