We love incorporating zellige tiles into our projects. Their handcrafted charm, varied textures, and unique imperfections bring character and warmth to any space. While zellige has surged in popularity in recent years, this timeless Moroccan art form actually dates back to the 10th century. Traditionally, these beautiful tiles featured bold geometric and abstract designs, and their intricate patterns and vibrant colors once adorned palaces, mosques, and other grand buildings.

The revival of traditional craftsmanship has brought zellige back into today’s design landscape. These tiles are as durable as they are beautiful. Resistant to heat and water, they’re perfect for high-traffic spaces like your kitchen backsplash or bathroom walls. They’re built to last and will continue to bring warmth and beauty to your space for years to come.
