The majority of Thiel's work is either for private clients (this stuff is for the Frenchman Peirre Berge, who was Yves Saint Laurent's boyfriend and longtime resident of Marrakech) or for hotels. Here Thiel keeps to some pretty traditional forms in the cases of the tagines and ashtrays, but tones down the decorative patterns in favor of one bright color.
