Riad Tile offers a multitude of fabulous colors of glazed terracotta tiles, from graceful, subdued greys and whites to cheerful, bold light rose and light green, in both 2” x 6” and 4” x 4”. The slight imperfections and idiosyncrasies present in the tile-making and finishing process imbue each tile with inimitable color and texture, leading to surprising contrasting colors and a wash of patterns that grace any room they’re applied to. Every single tile has its own character, as the tile-making process yields slightly different results with each tile. With an extraordinary variety of colors and textures, these Moroccan tiles (traditionally known as“zellij”) have an amazing and always unique appearance. The art of Zellige finds its roots as early as 1,300 years ago in modern-day Spain, and over the centuries, it has only improved, both in quality and appearance.
