The name "Amlou" is inspired by the beloved Moroccan breakfast spread made with almonds, argan oil, and honey. The warm, inviting colors of the pillow reflect the rich hues of the ingredients—deep reds, vibrant oranges, and soft pinks. These earthy tones, reminiscent of terracotta and ochre, evoke the grounding warmth and vibrancy of Moroccan kitchens, where Amlou is often served with fresh bread, creating a healthy, welcoming atmosphere.
