The vibrant gardens of the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca hosted an evening of inspiration and innovation on October 16, marking the official unveiling of the 73 nominated projects for the inaugural Moroccan Interior Design Awards (MIDA). Organized by Groupe Archimedia under the auspices of the Ministry of National Planning, Urban Development, Housing, and City Policy, this first edition highlights Morocco’s growing influence in the world of interior design.

With this debut edition, the MIDA aims to honor creativity, innovation, and boldness in interior design, establishing itself as a national and international benchmark. The competition celebrates those who redefine Moroccan art de vivre, blending modernity, sustainability, and cultural identity.
A Gathering of Visionaries
Set within the artistic atmosphere of Les Beaux-Arts, the event brought together architects, designers, and design enthusiasts to celebrate the dynamic evolution of Moroccan design. The nominated projects reflect a new generation deeply engaged with local craftsmanship, materials, and contemporary challenges—from comfort and functionality to emotion and environmental responsibility.

The 2025 selection was reviewed by a distinguished multidisciplinary jury chaired by internationally renowned architect and designer Lotfi Sidirahal of Atelier Pod. He was joined by honorary jury member Sacha Lakic and other prominent figures from the worlds of design, media, and academia, ensuring a rich and diverse evaluation process.
Sixteen Categories of Excellence
This first edition encompasses sixteen categories that illustrate the breadth of Moroccan interior design—from hospitality and gastronomy to workplace architecture, lighting design, and residential spaces. The competition also shines a spotlight on emerging talents, recognizing first works and final-year student projects that embody the future of Moroccan creativity.
