The anniversary exhibition brings together designers who have taken part in Galerie H’s various editions since its launch. Rather than looking back through a retrospective, it puts the spotlight on what they are creating today, giving each participant a free hand to present an original piece or collection.

The lineup spans the gallery’s earlier and more recent editions, offering a look at the range of approaches shaping Moroccan design. The works explore different materials, forms and influences, while drawing on the country’s artisanal skills and cultural heritage.

Among the participating designers are Abdou Diouri, Ayoub Ariba, Hicham El Madi, Hind Kharifi, Houria Afoufou, Kamil Hajji, Kenza Ben Cherif, Kenza Bennani, Khalid Darnaoud, Marie Lloret, Marya Belkhou and Mehdi Khassouane.

The exhibition’s layout has also been redesigned for the occasion. Visitors can move freely between the works and explore the collection at their own pace.

Kenza Bensalah, an administrator at Holmarcom Group, said the 10th edition reflects the growth of Morocco’s creative scene and its ability to keep renewing itself. She also highlighted the group’s intention to continue supporting designers whose work is helping shape the sector’s future.

A decade of exploring Moroccan design

Galerie H opened in February 2015 with Marhaba, meaning “welcome” in Arabic. The inaugural exhibition recreated a Moroccan-inspired home, conceived by three designers. Subsequent editions explored a range of themes, including the environment, heritage, identity, hope and Morocco’s openness to Africa.

Furniture, lighting and rugs have served as ways to examine changes in Moroccan society, bringing traditional influences into conversation with contemporary design and ideas from abroad. Across its exhibitions, the gallery has presented design as a field where established craftsmanship can be reinterpreted through new forms and creative approaches.

“Morocco has exceptional artisanal skills and designers capable of reinventing them with boldness and creativity,” Bensalah said. She described the exhibition as an expression of the diversity of Moroccan design, rooted in the country’s cultural heritage while remaining open to outside influences.

Supporting Moroccan designers

Run by Holmarcom Group under its corporate philanthropy program, Galerie H aims to give Moroccan designers a space to develop their work and reach wider audiences. Its support extends from the development of pieces to their presentation to the public, while allowing each creator to pursue an individual style.

The initiative also extends to the gallery’s concept store, which has been redesigned for the anniversary. It features a selection of locally designed home décor, accessories, jewelry and fashion pieces.

With D.I.X – Dix éditions. Une scène. Des talents, Galerie H is renewing its focus on contemporary Moroccan design and the country’s creative and artisanal talent.

The exhibition opened to the public on October 14, 2026, at Galerie H, located at 181 Boulevard d’Anfa, at the corner of Rue Halima Saâdia, in Casablanca. It is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
