Gabriel Martel – ID Prestige
« Avec Hez l’Kas, Younes prouve qu’en associant intelligemment deux produits issus de deux mondes totalement différents, le projet peut réconcilier artisanat et industrie. La cohabitation est possible quand elle est rondement menée, de l’idée au produit fini. »
Hez l’Kas embraces Moroccan culture by preserving the craftsmanship of traditional tea glasses. Continuously striving to stay true to Younes Duret’s ‘inducraft’ approach, Hez l’kas is dedicated to elevating artisanal artifacts while ensuring its legacy through industrial innovation.
The object was previewed in the magazine ID Prestige – special issue signed Younes Duret published in 2017. Knowing the craze for tea in Morocco, the viability of this little handle is assured.
