Medina Palais takes you on a journey through the medinas of Tunisia and Morocco with an authentic selection of lighting, pottery, textiles, furniture and decorative objects handcrafted by skilled artisans.
Medina Palais was founded in 2006 by Tarek Ben Ghorbal, a Tunisian who came to Quebec to study in 2003. Born into a family of artisans and raised among the souks of the medina of Tunis, he grew up surrounded by leatherwork, pottery, textiles, hammered copper and handmade creations.
After completing his master’s degree in finance at the Université de Sherbrooke, he chose to recreate in Montreal the warm and colourful atmosphere of the Maghreb’s medinas. That vision became Medina Palais on Saint-Denis Street.
A store often described by our customers as a true “Ali Baba’s cave.”
We select pieces that celebrate the materials, techniques and craft traditions of the Mediterranean.
Pieces selected for their character, quality and connection to the traditions of Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey.
Many of our leather and pottery creations are made in Tunisia by artisans from our own family.
We help homeowners and professionals choose pieces suited to their décor, space and project.
Restaurants, businesses, events, photo shoots and film productions: Medina Palais helps professionals purchase or rent lighting, furniture and decorative elements.
