Description

Zellige is a handmade natural clay tile from the Fez region of Morocco. The clay is kneaded with water, shaped by hand with unrefined clay, air dried and fired in the kiln. The glaze is applied to the raw tile in several shimmering semi-transparent shades. This creates pearly, metallic, volcanic or opaque shades. The characteristics of Zellige are the irregular surfaces, the color nuances and the depth of the color. Every Zellige tile is unique. These unique pieces are a symbol of Moroccan architecture.

The wallpapers are available in 28 beautiful colors: The palette ranges from inconspicuous, earthy tones, which set the stage for the furnishings, to strong colors such as denim or aqua, which are reminiscent of roaring water and bring freshness to the interior. Added to this is the fine coloring: each individual color always ranges from reserved, light tones to intense nuances. This is how the typical shades in the tiles come about.

The special feature of the collection lies in the three-dimensionality of the design. Precise shades were set for each individual tile so that the viewer can hardly distinguish a wallpapered wall from the original.

So Zellige captures the magic of the Orient and exudes the charm of a centuries-old craft tradition combined with the mystical, colorful way of life of the Orient in every room.
