Smell Wood, Feel Art
After four years of development, the Callitris family has grown to encompass dozens of talented local artisans. Working closely together and pushing the boundaries of their respective disciplines, they design and create unique models that combine Thuya with other handmade materials from all over Morocco
Callitris originated from a family of artisans who lived in a small Moroccan village called “Ait Eko” in the Middle Atlas who have been working with wood since the early twentiethcentury. The very first woodworking job carried out by Mouhat was the reproduction of a metal sculpture for a Frenchman in 1930.
Since that first piece, this craft has been perfected by each member of the family and passed down, becoming a generational legacy.
In 2018, Callitris was born from the meeting between Abdelahlim, Mouhat’s grandson, and the founders of the brand. Previously limited to the production of standardized products, they worked together to reinterpret woodworking by reviving ancestral techniques and exploring new perspectives.

Today, Callitris looks out for the demolition of old villages or abandoned traditional houses throughout the Kingdom where Thuya has been used as a frame. Callitris recovers these rare and resilient pieces of wood and gives them a second life, creating stunning and sustainable pieces that
combine the authenticity of this ancestral craft with an innovative, modern approach to woodworking.
