Zellige, the intricate geometric tilework seen across Moroccan palaces and riads, is more than just decoration — it’s identity.
Handcrafted from clay and colored with natural pigments, each tile is cut and placed by artisans with mathematical precision.
“It’s a meditation and a discipline ”
says Moulay Rachid, a 5th-generation artisan in Fez.
As modern architecture grows, a new generation of designers are reviving Zellige in contemporary spaces — blending heritage and innovation.
Morocco’s cultural legacy is alive — and evolving.
