Moroccan Zellige Mosaic: From Traditional Art to Contemporary Design Projects (Wholesale)
Zellige: The Iconic Moroccan Mosaic That Transforms Spaces
Zellige is Morocco’s signature mosaic art—hand-cut glazed terracotta tiles assembled into geometric patterns that have adorned palaces and mosques for centuries. Today, architects worldwide specify zellige for luxury hotels, residences, and commercial spaces.
What Makes Authentic Zellige Special
- Hand-cut precision—each tile individually chipped by master craftsmen
- Unique glaze variations—natural color depth machines cannot replicate
- Geometric complexity—patterns based on Islamic mathematical principles
Zellige Applications
- Feature walls—lobbies, restaurants, reception areas
- Bathroom and kitchen surfaces—backsplashes, shower enclosures
- Pool and fountain surrounds
- Flooring and furniture inlays
Wholesale Zellige: What Buyers Need to Know
- Lead time—custom patterns require 4-8 weeks
- Color matching—provide samples or Pantone references
- Quantity—include 10-15% extra for cuts and installation waste
We work with master zellige artisans in Fes—the historic center of this craft.
